Launch renders reveal design secrets of new Haas F1 car
The team is focused on continuing the development trajectory from 2023, with the most noticeable change being the design of the sidepods. This follows the approach taken by Haas at the United States Grand Prix last season. The sidepods now feature an expanded undercut and a refined inlet, resembling the design seen on the Red Bull RB19. The upper surface of the sidepod is smoother compared to the previous adaptation, with a downward-facing cooling cannon dividing the sidepod and engine cover bodywork. The engine cover has been widened to accommodate any ancillaries and features an enlarged airbox layout. At the front of the car, the team retained certain elements while also adding a new feature inspired by Mercedes, with semi-detached flaps and an additional winglet. At the rear, Haas appears to have been influenced by Alpine, incorporating a semi-detached rear wing tip solution.
