After ending up at the bottom of the constructors’ standings last year, the progress it has made with its VF-22 means it heads in to the summer break ahead of Williams, Aston Martin and AlphaTauri in the championship standings.
That is why there was a lot of intrigue about the major upgrade it brought to the Hungaroring, which prompted a lot of accusations that it was nothing more than a ‘white Ferrari’. However, where Haas may have been even more shrewd, especially when compared to its closest rivals, is that its development hasn’t delineated too far from its origins either.Comparing the sidepod solution that’s been raced in the opening half of the season and resided on Schumacher’s car in Hungary , with the new solution , there’s a definite move towards the crevice sported on the Ferrari F1-75 but it remains on the same design lineage.
This is significant with regards to the wake created by the tyres, as the front wings have also been simplified, reducing how much they can be used as a means of disrupting and altering the wake. The shape of the sidepod has changed, with a higher shoulder resulting in a change to the overall geometry of the bodywork .
The changes made to the sidepods should help to push the wake generated by the front tyres away from the car and also improve relations further downstream, not only in terms of the inwash required to improve flow into the coke bottle region, but also how the airflow is pushed across the face of the rear tyre.
