Named in public · sourced · dated
F1 teams build cars on recognisable commercial machine tools. What sets them apart is the geometry, the programming, the workholding, the materials and the inspection plan, not a secret machine. This page lists the machines and systems that teams, their machine builders or their partners have named in public, with the source and date for each one.
How to read this page
Named recently
A source from 2023 or later, or a current page, names the machine or system.
Named at the source date
An older source proves the machine was there then. It may not be in the fleet today.
Machine class only
The source confirms the process (5-axis milling, SLA, SLS, testing) but not the brand or model.
Historical
A past team or a past arrangement, kept for context. Not a statement about 2026.

Haas Motorsports machine list
Haas Automation describes itself as the official machine tool of the TGR Haas F1 Team (the 2026 title, with TOYOTA GAZOO Racing as title partner; Haas Automation’s page says Haas F1 Team) and the NASCAR Haas Factory Team, and names the models below among the Haas CNC machines used in Haas Motorsports. It is a motorsports list, not an inventory of the Haas F1 Team’s factory, and it does not say which team uses which model. Haas Automation also states that it supplies CNC machines to Scuderia Ferrari (see the Ferrari rows above).

What this page does not claim: a machine named by one team is not evidence that another team uses it; Red Bull Racing (Milton Keynes) and Racing Bulls (Faenza) are separate operations; a photo of a machine is not an inventory record; and a supplier of one component family does not make the car. Where a source names a machine family but not the size or variant, MBB links a related model page and says so.
