An unusual Haas upgrade ends its ‘lipstick on a pig’ situation
Haas has made a significant off-track development by implementing a new garage layout for the 2023 Formula 1 season. This new layout brings Haas up to modern standards and was approved as a concept during pre-season testing in 2022. The garage makeover, overseen by team leaders, cost a significant amount and is the first major adaptation to the garage since Haas joined F1 in 2015. The most noticeable change is the addition of a new central engineering island to improve communication between engineers. The new layout also frees up space and aids accessibility by moving equipment into new cupboards on the side of the garage. This upgrade is not just a luxury, but a strategic move as it saves on freight costs and is more sustainable. The investment could pay for itself within 12 months.
