The American outfit have switched꧑ to a Red 🌳Bull-style concept for their home race at Austin in what is regarded as the team’s biggest ever in-season upgrade. 

Haas have finally abandoned their wide sidepod inlets in favour of a design clo🐻ser i🔥n style to Red Bull’s dominant RB19. 

They are the latest team to converge to a similar phi✅losophy to Red Bull, who have won 16 out of 17 races so far this season. 

Ha🉐as’ updated VF-23 was pictured in the back of the garage during Thursd🌟ay’s preparation day at the Circuit of the Americas. 

The first glimpses have revealed a Red Bull-style do🐈wnwash design featuring a new cooling inlet, and an aggressive&n✅bsp;undercut. 

Haas have also brought a floor upgrade to the US Grand 𒀰Prix. 

Speaki♏꧅ng about the changes prior to the weekend, Haas team principal Guenther Steiner described it as a “substantial update”. 

“Th🔜e upgrade on the VF-23 is aerodynamic,” Steiner exp🥀lained. 

“We changed the concept of the car because what we started with, bec𒀰ause of the new regulations last year, we couldn’t make any more gains 🍌performance-wise. 

“Creating more downforce and less drag, it just wasn’t there anymore, so we needed to change concept, to which is commonly known as the “Red Bull con🌠cept” or the “downwash concept”. 

ꦺ“It is a substantial update, and we’re able to do this within the cost cap because we didn’t have any updates at the beginning of the season because again, going back, we couldn’t find any performance that we could make parts to♕ put on the car.”
