The first ‘new’ car of 2024 has arrived: bottom place Haas: Without Steiner, no music

What kind of goals can the last place in the World Cup have in Formula 1? Sure, just shy of 10th place – but this left only Haas-Ferrari at the end of 2024!

The American team recently released the great Zampano Günther Steiner (58). What a flop. Because the team led by Gene Haas (71), a colorless mechanical engineer billionaire, usually stays under the radar screen in the circus.

Two comeback pilots

But the South Tyrolean Steiner has enriched Formula 1 with his pithy sayings and statements. Now the silent wave begins with Gene Haas and the new Japanese team boss Ayao Komatsu (48).

And in terms of drivers, Nico Hülkenberg (36) and Kevin Magnussen (31) are still on the road. Two pilots, both back from retirement. Two pilots who barely understand each other.

The ‘half’ Ferrari

But the problem lies with the car. Last year (total 12 points) they tried to beat tire wear in every race. Over the distance it was rarely successful.

Extreme sidepods and larger cooling intakes can be seen in the designer image. Haas continues to receive Ferrari’s engine, transmission, hydraulics and suspension. Haas often wants a red super technician to examine the car.

No high expectations

At Haas, Komatsu is already talking about a difficult start to the World Cup. “But we will definitely improve as the season progresses!” Hardly any other team will start the first day of testing on February 21 in Bahrain with such a negative attitude.
