We untangle Haas's new Toyota Formula 1 deal and explain how it fits in with its existing Ferrari technical partnership in the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast.

Scott Mitchell-Malm and Mark Hughes join Edd Straw to talk all about the impact this alliance should have for Haas, and why its full potential isn't yet clear.

The services Toyota will provide in terms of facilitating a TPC (testing of previous cars) programme for Haas for the first time and also driver-in-loop simulator and manufacturing opportunities are laid out in detail.

We also outline why this isn't a full-blown Toyota return to F1 and discuss Toyota's reasoning for the deal and what it might have the potential to lead to in the future. 

And given this is a positive step for Haas, we also look at the progress it has made under new team principal Ayao Komatsu over the past 10 months.
