Haas reveals double shakedown plans for 2024 F1 car
The American-owned team has recently announced that their long-serving team principal, Guenther Steiner, will not be staying on board after his contract was not extended. Ayao Komatsu, former director of engineering, has been promoted to the team boss job and is currently reviewing operations to determine the best way forward. Despite this, the team is continuing with preparations for their 2024 car and plans to get valuable mileage before the official F1 pre-season test in Bahrain. The team will have a Silverstone shakedown on February 11th, followed by another shakedown in Bahrain two days before the official testing starts. While the car will not be seen in public before the Silverstone shakedown, the team may release images of any design changes. Komatsu expressed optimism about the progress made over the winter but did not expect a dramatic leap in performance in the first race. He emphasized the importance of the team working together and making progress as a unit.
