Two modifications to the 2024 Haas, including a revised floor body and new sidepod inlet geometry, have triggered further changes to enhance aerodynamic load. These modifications led to adjustments in the size and position of the lower quadraplane and other structural changes in the rear corner. The revised sidepod inlet geometry, with a longer upper lip, aimed to improve airflow towards the rear and necessitated alterations to the side pod shape and mirror stay.
