Haas has brought its biggest upgrade of the season to Austin, and of course, the championship’s best car is the inspiration. Gary Anderson explains what the team has done, and why
Haas’s major upgrade for the United States Grand Prix focuses on addressing tyre degradation issues. The team has recognized that there is a significant forward center of pressure shift during braking and corner entry, causing excessive wear on the rear tyres. To combat this, Haas has introduced its first major development package of the season, aiming to optimize the flow structure and generate more downwash. Changes to the inlet area and sidepod profile have been made to ensure consistent airflow and direct it towards the middle of the car. The team has also added more detail to the outer edge of the floor, aligning their approach with that of other teams, particularly Red Bull. These enhancements should improve traction and overall performance.
