One of the key things was partnering with an agency that understood the unique requirements of our company and our sport. The website had to look great while supporting our fans, team partners and our brand.

Haas F1 Team
Haas may not be the most successful Formula 1 team on the track (yet). But that doesn’t mean they can’t have the most engaged fanbase on the web. Beyond the slick interface, dynamic content and unique brand experience, the Haas website is ultimately about creating connections with fans. That’s why you’ll find unrivalled behind-the-scenes access through the Haas+ hub. And it’s why every single decision in design and development was made with fans in mind.

Built to be different
Designed around a modular grid-based format, the website is built to be different. That means dynamic homepage takeovers during race weekends. It means constant evolution of news and content. It means a frenzy of feed activity with integrated social channels. And it means there’s only one place to be for the most intimate, inside access to the world of F1.
Keeping on-track
Beyond the UX design and Drupal development, we helped to shape a fresh visual system, with bespoke iconography designed to ease navigation as part of a digital-first identity. And in a sport where split seconds can mean a world of difference, our website has to stay ahead of the rest. That’s why it automatically re-invents itself after every single race. Dynamically shifting focus to the next event, whilst showcasing the upcoming circuits and related news and developments.
Always ready for race day
Few sports can compete with the fever of anticipation and excitement that builds around race day in Formula 1. And we wanted Haas to be the place for the most impassioned fans. That's why race weekend welcomes a full-hearted shift in focus, switching seamlessly to a dedicated race hub. Where all that matters is the day's events
