Everyone is excitedly awaiting Tuesday night's public unveiling in London, where the 2025 cars (in theory) and this year's livery (in practice) will be unveiled. But someone managed to steal the show...
This someone, or rather someones, were the drivers of the Haas F1 Team, who not only showed off their new weapon, but their paintwork will also be the same as what we see in the pictures. Haas has not only broken with the practice of previous years, this year they will no longer work with Ferrari's current suspension, they will use last year's construction. This means that instead of the tie-rod design, they will stick with the push-rod version, which they believe will be more profitable. According to team leader Ayao Komatsu, they are taking all this because they would not gain enough with it to make it worth the effort to adapt. According to Komatsu, there would be a temporary setback before there would be a chance for real progress, which the Americans do not want to wait for.
You can see the differences compared to last year's model in this picture (below is the 2025 model)
Whatever happens, if the new Haas proves to be only half as competitive as it is beautiful...
