The introduction of an upgrade package could prove a game-changer for Haas so late in the season.
Haas is aiming to secure a significant financial boost by introducing a late-season upgrade for the United States Grand Prix.
In addition to revealing a modified livery for their home race at the Circuit of the Americas, drivers Oliver Bearman and Esteban Ocon will be equipped with the new VF-25 upgrade in a bid to improve their standings in the F1 constructors’ championship.
The team’s decision stems from the narrow 26-point gap that separates them from Racing Bulls in sixth place, with a potential $30 million prize money difference between the two positions, which is crucial for smaller teams.
The anticipated impact of the update package is seen as a potential game-changer for Haas.
Team principal Ayao Komatsu remains cautiously optimistic about the upgrade’s performance, emphasizing the need for thorough testing and evaluation before drawing any conclusions at the upcoming race in Austin.
