Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu als꧟o confirmed Bearman will🍰 be first to drive in pre-season testing.

“We’ll have Esteban driving, because in terms of driver installa⛄tion, he is more challenging,” Komatsu t𝓡old media including .

“We just want to make sure 100% Esteban’s installation is fine. So, if we have got an issue, we have more time to rea🤡ct.

“With Ollie, we’re pretty confident. We’re pretty confident with Esteban a🦩s well, but we’re more confident with Ollie’s installation than Esteban.

So, Esteban will run fꦐirst and then Ollie in the Bahrain shakedown. That means Ollie will start pre-seas♍on testing.”

Along with the other nine teams, Haas will unveil their 2025 livery at F1’s special season launch event at London’s O2 Arena on 18 Fe🌼bruary.

Haas target 2025 consistency

Haas finished seventh in the constructors’ championship last term, marking their best result sinc♈e 2018.

And Komatsu, who took over as team principal from the ousted Guenther Steiner this 𝔉time last year, wants the American outfit to build on the consistency they demonstrate♎d in 2024.

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

“For 🌜me, w♌hat was encouraging last year was our competitiveness increased through the season. 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 to continue that level of consistency, but I only expect coꦗmpetition 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 Bear꧑man will be engineered by⛄ Ronan O’Hare. Both have earned promotions from their former roles as performance engineers.
