Haas became the first team to launch its Formula 1 car for the year ahead and our technical expert Paolo Filisetti has taken a deeper dive into the elements of the VF-24.
The Haas VF-24 closely resembles the concepts seen on Red Bull’s dominant car from last year, with some partial anticipation of features that may be found on the Ferrari SF-24. This includes a similar wheelbase to the VF-23 but with a shortened gearbox for a slight change in weight distribution. The suspension layout remains the same, but the wishbone pick-up points have been moved. The nose cone and front wing have been adjusted, and the sidepods have similarities to Red Bull’s design. The engine air intake has been modified, and the overall car design appears conventional and follows a predictable path. It will be interesting to see how the aerodynamics and overall performance of the car will fare on the race track.
