Steiner commits Haas to 'biggest change' with Red Bull-style upgrade
Haas plans to make a major change to its Formula 1 car design inspired by Red Bull towards the end of the 2023 season. The team has stuck with its original concept, but other teams have been adopting a downwash effect that Haas has struggled to match. Ferrari, Haas’s technical partners, made the switch earlier in the year, citing a lack of development opportunities. Haas also faced challenges with its current concept, as they couldn’t find any further performance gains. The team plans to introduce a b-spec version of the VF-23 at the United States Grand Prix, which will serve as a preview for its 2024 car. Haas drivers have shown strong qualifying performances, but struggle in races due to poor tire degradation, prompting the need for updates. The team acknowledges that they are currently behind in terms of pace and are trying to maximize opportunities for points finishes.
