Haas have confirmed when their 2025 F1 car will hit t๊he track for th🏅e first time ahead of the new season.

The VF-25 is set to break cover on 16 February at Silverstone as Haas complete a filming ♉day at the home of the British Grand Prix.

New signing 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Esteban Ocon is set 🦋to g🤪et the first run in Haas’ 2025 F1 challenger.

Rookie teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oliver Bearman will then get behind t🎶he wheel for a second filming day in Bahrain, two days before official pre-season testing takes plac🌟e between 26-28 February.

Haas 🧜team principal ꧑Ayao Komatsu also confirmed Bearman will be first to drive in pre-season testing.

“We’ll have Esteban driving, b💫ecause in terms of driver installation, he is more challeng🅠ing,” Komatsu told media including .

“We just want t🅺o make sure 100ও% Esteban’s installation is fine. So, if we have got an issue, we have more time to react.

“With Ollie, w꧂e𒊎’re pretty confident. We’re pretty confident with Esteban as well, but we’re more confident with Ollie’s installation than Esteban.

So, Esteban will run first and then Ollie in the Bahrai🐓n shakedown. That means Ollie will start pre-season testing.”

Along with the other ni⛄ne teams, Haas will unveil their 2025 livery at F1’s special season launch event at London’s O2 ꧅Arena on 18 February.

Haas target 2025 consistency

H🤪aas finished seventh in the constructors’ championship last term, marking 🐭their best result since 2018.

And Komatsu, who took over as team principal from the ousted Guenther Steiner this time last year, wants the American outfit to build on the consistency they demonstr꧃ated in 2024.

“I’ve got my sights set on consistency,” he added. “We finished P7 last year. In the history of Haas, across the 𒈔y😼ears I don’t think we’ve been competitive across seasons in a similar manner.

“For me, 🥂what was encouraging last year was our competitiveness increased through the seas🙈on. Then we scored the most points in the last quarter of the year. Since Monza, we only missed a point in Brazil. That was encouraging.

“I’d like to꧙ไ continue that level of consistency, but I only expect competition to be tighter this year. Alpine, Williams, Sauber and RB – they are all going to be better as well. So, I don’t know how packed the midfield will be but I expect it to be tight.”

Haas announced on Tuesday that Laura Muller will become💙 F1’s first-ever female race engineer as part of a major restructuring of personnel at the team.

Muller will be the voice in the ear of Ocon, while 🙈Bearman will be engineered by Ronan O’Hare. Both have earned promotions ✅from their former roles as performance engineers.
