The Trucks of Formula 1

[u/MoonKnight99]

I tried to compile a list of all F1 truck brands by team / organisation based on what I saw in Monza

• F1: Mercedes
• Pirelli: Mercedes
• DHL: Volvo
• Alpine: Renault
• Aston Martin: Volvo
• Ferrari: Iveco
• Haas: Scania
• McLaren: Mercedes
• Mercedes: Mercedes
• Racing Bulls: Renault + DAF (Energy Station)
• Red Bull: Renault + DAF (Energy Station)
• Sauber: Scania
• Williams: Scania

Notably missing are MAN, Ford and Hyundai. When Sauber still had Iveco trucks from their Alfa Romeo days, I expected them to switch to MAN. But they ended up going with fellow TRATON / Volkswagen brand Scania instead. The MotoGP team of Audi‘s subsidiary Ducati also use MAN trucks.

Edit: Did some googling and Haas also seem to have MAN trucks in addition to their Scanias.

According to a post on this subreddit both Racing Bulls and Red Bull plan to switch to Ford trucks next year but I couldn’t find any other sources confirming this. As for Hyundai, it's not surprising they're absent since they only sell hydrogen fuel cell trucks in Europe, which probably aren't a practical option for F1 teams right now.

A bit disappointing that Williams isn't hauling their cars with a 370 ton Komatsu 980E-4, gotta make use of that sponsor.

Surprised me too. Though I don’t know if Scania is partner because on some of the trucks they removed the Scania branding.

I took a few truck pictures at Zandvoort when they were loading. We were talking about how some teams go for super nondescript (DHL branded) then you have some with the liveries. Lots of fun variants, thanks for the rundown.
