That's the best looking Haas livery so far. I always felt they just sort of mailed it in livery-wise. This one looks pretty sharp.

Favorite F1 livery of 2023 so far.

Hard to tell with the lack of contrast between the car and background, but the top down shot looks like it has F1-75 style side pods.

It's a render, so the car might not look anything like that when it hits the track in a few weeks.

It's happening.

quote:

All signs point to the official announcement of their partnership being made at the season launch event on Friday, February 3.

It is not yet clear exactly how extensive the partnership will be. Ford are not believed to have signed up for the 2026 power unit regulations, while Red Bull have put extensive resource into building their own powertrains division and have a pre-existing relationship with Honda. Those factors suggest Ford may not come in as an engine partner, though it remains to be seen if that will be the case.

The Palm Angels branding is like the trashy tattoo on an otherwise classy lady.

So is that one of the reasons Horner has been so vocal against Andretti and GM? Can't have GM taking the American limelight from Ford.

Haas is running Ferrari engines...

America will officially be back in F1 when there's a Ford power unit in the RBR and AT cars...

Maybe Haas can make a deal to make it a real American F1 team?

Gene dgaf about that. Racing is a hobby that he can write off by selling a few CNC machines.

Haas made some bad strategy calls, but always seemed to get fricked with cautions and the meatball flag.
Everything about the crew was bad. The mid-race strategy was bad. A lot of time they would start on some weird tire choice most of the field wasn't on for seemingly no benefit. The pit stops were consistently among the slowest in the field. You could write a novel on the shortcomings.

I love Guenther like an uncle but if it's another circus behind the pit wall again this year, I would like to see some changes.

The pitstops were laughably slow. Obvious they don't put a lot of practice into them.

If Ford is in I have to think GM will follow with some brand. Not sure who though. No one really needs a works manufacturer.

How Ford fits in to RBR will be even more interesting. Obviously 50/50 isn't what RBR want. If they start building engines how does that Honda IP work. Maybe they just get to slap a label on the engine.
