Haas reveals 2024 VF-24 F1 car livery
The new livery of the Haas F1 team’s VF-24 car is not a significant change compared to the previous year, with the main alteration being the black upper nose section. The team has released renders of the livery, and the car will be run for the first time at a Silverstone shakedown on February 11th. Haas owner and chairman, Gene Haas, expressed excitement about seeing the VF-24 in action and praised drivers Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen. The team had a disappointing 2023 season, finishing last due to aerodynamic issues with the VF-23. Former director of engineering Ayao Komatsu has replaced Guenther Steiner as team principal, and he acknowledges that Haas may continue to struggle in the upcoming season due to resource allocation for the late-season upgrade in 2023. However, Komatsu is optimistic about the team’s progress in the wind tunnel and hopes to have a good test program for the Bahrain race. Additionally, Andrea De Zordo has been promoted to technical director, replacing Simone Resta.
