Kevin Magnussen says the eagerly-anticipated car concept change Haas is introducing at the United States Grand Prix is “exciting” amid
This weekend, Haas will finally be implementing the downwash sidepod solution, previously pioneered by Red Bull, making them the last team to do so this season. The team has revealed various upgrades to their car, including improvements to the floor, engine cover, sidepod inlet, sidepods, quarter panel, and padding gills. Haas acknowledges that their previous launch-spec philosophy had reached its performance limits, leading to minimal upgrades. While the team aims to improve their points tally in the remaining races, driver Kevin Magnussen emphasizes that the revised car is more important for next year’s development than for immediate performance gains. Haas has struggled with tire degradation and hopes that the upgrades will address this issue. Magnussen also credits Haas’ new sponsorship deal with MoneyGram for making these revisions possible and believes that it has changed the team’s mood and ability to bring substantial upgrades.
