The American outfit have&nbs🔯p;switched 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 th♛eir wide sidepod inlets in favour of a design closer in style to Red Bull’s dominant RB19. 

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

Haas’ updated VF-23 was pictureꦉd in the back of the garage during Thursday’s preparation day at the Circuit ♓of the Americas. 

The fi💦rst glimpses have reveaꦍled a Red Bull-style downwash design featuring a new cooling inlet, and an aggressive undercut. 

🐠Haas have also brought a f𒀰loor upgrade to the US Grand Prix. 

Speaking about theꦆ changes ꦡprior to the weekend, Haas team principal Guenther Steiner described it as a “substantial update”. 

“The upgra꧑de on the VF-23 is aerodyn🎶amic,” Steiner explained. 

“We changed the concept of the car because what we started with, because of the new regulations last year, we couldn’t make any mor🐠e 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 co🐓ncept” or the “downwash concept”. 

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