Haas started the 2025 F1 season so badly it looked like it would spend the year cut adrift at the back. This is the story behind its rapid recovery
The Haas Formula 1 team boss was shocked by the team’s poor performance at the start of the 2025 season, but the issue was resolved with an “educated guess.” Haas faced aerodynamic problems causing inconsistent downforce in high-speed corners, affecting driver confidence. The team qualified poorly and finished at the back of the field in the Australian Grand Prix. Despite the setback, the team boss trusted in the team’s ability to make improvements based on past success. With a sense of urgency, they set clear objectives and took risks to quickly address the car’s issues and avoid a prolonged period of poor performance. Looking ahead to the upcoming races, the team remained focused on making necessary changes to improve their position on the grid.
