Haas F1 Team is set to make a statement at this weekend’s United States Grand Prix with not only a striking new look but also crucial performance upgrades as they fight for sixth place in the Constructors’ Championship. Proudly flying the red, white, and blue of the American flag, Haas has revealed a special one-off livery featuring the iconic bald eagle, bringing the stars and stripes to the Circuit of the Americas like never before!
But the changes aren’t just cosmetic—Haas is coming to Austin armed with a major development package that could give them the edge in their fierce midfield rivalry with RB and Williams.
STARS, STRIPES, AND SPEED: THE EAGLE LANDS IN AUSTIN
Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen will be dressed to impress, donning special race overalls emblazoned with the majestic eagle emblem. Their VF-24 cars will also be sporting Toyota Gazoo Racing branding on the front and rear wings, reflecting Haas’ technical alliance with the Japanese automotive giant. This is the first time fans will see this partnership in action on the track.
UPGRADES THAT COULD CHANGE THE GAME: CAN HAAS CLAW BACK POINTS?
Beyond the patriotic visuals, the real story is the critical development package Haas is rolling out in Austin. According to Technical Director Andrea De Zordo, the team has made significant advancements in the car’s floor and bodywork, aiming to boost aerodynamic performance in this crucial final stretch of the season. “The target, as always, is to improve aero load and make the car faster. We’re looking at small gains, but in such a tight midfield battle, every little bit counts,” De Zordo said.
Though the upgrades aren’t expected to deliver a massive leap in lap times, even minor improvements could be the difference in securing valuable points as Haas fights to secure sixth place in the Constructors’ standings. Currently trailing RB by just three points—RB holds 34 while Haas sits on 31—every single upgrade and strategic decision is vital. Williams, with 16 points, remains an outside contender for sixth place, but the battle is far from over.
MIDFIELD SHOWDOWN: HAAS VS. RB, WITH WILLIAMS CHASING
With only a handful of races left in the 2024 season, Haas is laser-focused on climbing the leaderboard. “We really need to put everything into achieving sixth place. It would be an incredible accomplishment for everyone on the team who has worked so hard this year,” De Zordo emphasized.
While RB currently holds the upper hand, Haas is determined to close the three-point gap, and the upgrades brought to Austin could make all the difference. Meanwhile, Williams, with 16 points, remains in the mix but faces an uphill battle to leapfrog both teams.
THE STAKES HAVE NEVER BEEN HIGHER!
The United States Grand Prix promises to be a pivotal moment for Haas, both on and off the track. With their stunning eagle-themed livery and critical performance upgrades, the team is ready to take the fight to RB and Williams in a nail-biting showdown. As the season enters its final phase, can Haas pull off the upset and secure sixth in the Constructors’ standings?
