Haas team owner Gene Haas is hoping that the new aerodynamic regulations for the 2019 season will offer a boost to the American outfit. The team ended the 2018 campaign fifth in the constructors’ standings, losing out on fourth place to Renault.
Haas is hoping that the updated regulations, which have been introduced in order to reduce the outwash the cars produce, will allow his team to “make more of an impact”.
“This is the time of the season when you hope you’ve got designs right and you can be competitive straight away,” said Haas. “The new car looks distinctive, not only in terms of its color scheme, but also with the new regulations in play.
