Haas will continue using the Formula 1 Ferrari wind tunnel despite forming a technical alliance with Toyota.
Last Autumn, Haas entered into a technical alliance with Toyota, which has brought several benefits to the smallest team on the F1 grid. Toyota has assisted in the TPC programme and will develop an in-loop simulator for Haas. Despite the alliance, Haas opted to continue using Ferrari’s wind tunnel facility rather than Toyota’s. Team Principal Ayao Komatsu sees this decision as a “win-win situation” due to Ferrari’s research benefits. Haas plans to centralize its operations in the UK and expand its sim-based operations with the new simulator being developed by Toyota. Komatsu is excited about the expanded capabilities this will bring to the team in the future.
