Haas to take different approach to Bahrain F1 test
The VF-23 struggled with tyre overheating last year, wasting good grid positions as the cars slipped down the order in races. Haas is addressing this issue with the VF-24, using Bahrain testing to evaluate its success instead of trying various set-ups. The focus is on managing tyres for 300 kilometers to improve performance. Team Principal Ayao Komatsu emphasizes generating relevant data for engineers to understand the car and tyre behavior. Incremental improvements are the short-term goal, leading to long-term progress, with upgraded cars being the medium-term target for Haas. Kevin Magnussen seeks consistency in car performance, with past upgrades showing positive results, and expectations are high for further improvements with the VF-24 this season.
