  • When Haas showed off their livery at Formula One's launch spectacular in London last month, they presented themselves as "America's F1 team" in a video fronted by U.S. country singer Kane Brown.

The article from Reuters discusses the challenges facing the Haas F1 Team as they approach the 2025 season. Team principal Ayao Komatsu has acknowledged that Haas will be competing for the 'best of the rest' tag behind the dominant teams like Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren, and Mercedes. Despite a promising start to the 2024 season with Nico Hulkenberg finishing 10th in the Bahrain Grand Prix, the team recognizes the need for significant improvements in car performance. Komatsu highlighted the importance of upgrades and development, especially after a disappointing 2023 season where Haas finished last in the constructors' championship. The team is focusing on enhancing their car's capabilities to better compete in the midfield, aiming to secure points regularly and potentially challenge for higher positions in the constructors' standings.
