2025 sees MoneyGram Haas F1 Team celebrate its tenth season in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship — we’re just getting started. We don’t follow the status quo; we’re here to challenge the competition, and we want you to join us. The first American Formula 1 team to compete in the sport since 1986, MoneyGram Haas F1 Team made an immediate impression with a memorable points-scoring debut at the 2016 Australian Grand Prix. Nine years later, the team continues to demonstrate growth and a clear direction with its future objectives, coming off the back of its second-best season to date in Formula 1.

At MoneyGram Haas F1 Team — known within the paddock as the 'family team' — you’ll be involved in many different areas of the team, have broader visibility across the business, and will be able to see your contribution clearly. Yes, you’ll learn from us, but we also expect to learn from you!
