Has Haas put its 2023 mistakes right with its new design or have the management changes hampered its winter? Here’s Gary Anderson’s take on what it’s shown us so far
“cooling scoops” on top of the airbox (red circles). These scoops will help channel air towards the engine and improve cooling efficiency.
The rear end of the car is mostly hidden in these renders, so it’s difficult to make definitive conclusions. However, the rear wing endplates (purple arrow) seem similar to last year’s design.
Overall, these initial renders give us a glimpse of the direction Haas has taken with the VF-24. The team seems to have focused on improving front-end performance with changes to the suspension and front corner of the floor. The sidepod design appears to draw inspiration from Red Bull’s concept, which could suggest a more aggressive aerodynamic philosophy.
However, it’s important to keep in mind that these renders are not comprehensive and many details will only become clear once the car hits the track. Haas will face high expectations this season, and their performance will heavily depend on how well they have utilized the changes made during the winter upheaval.”
