Haas rented Austin workshop to fit F1 upgrades after tight Qatar turnaround
The Haas F1 team has made significant changes to the VF-23 car ahead of the final five races of the season. They have introduced Red Bull’s downwash sidepod design, along with revisions to the sidepod, engine cover bodywork, and floor. Due to time constraints and customs issues, the new parts were assembled outside of the team’s base in Banbury and brought to the Austin paddock. While the upper and lower aerodynamic surfaces have been updated, other components like the radiator ducts and electronics boxes remained unchanged. The team hopes that these modifications will address their major tire wear issues and improve performance.
