Gary Anderson’s verdict on the 2025 Haas F1 car
The restructuring at Haas prior to 2024 yielded significant benefits, with team principal Ayao Komatsu transforming it into an engineering-centric operation, emphasizing the importance of on-track results in Formula 1. Haas is hopeful that the new Haas VF-25 will mark another step forward in its engineering prowess, despite the car’s evolutionary design. While subtle differences exist, such as in the rear-view mirror shroud, Haas opted to retain the 2024-specification pushrod front suspension from Ferrari to maintain a strong start to the season. Notable changes include the adjusted rear-wing-to-endplate transition, aimed at improving aerodynamic efficiency and reducing drag, marking an important design consideration for the team. Furthermore, Haas’ decision to utilize Ferrari’s 2025 transmission package and rear suspension highlights the team’s strategy of continuity and familiarity in pursuit of performance improvements.
