Haas tends to introduce a major upgrade package around mid-season, rarely making substantial changes thereafter. The most noticeable upgrade was the sidepod inlet, now featuring the well-known overbite geometry concept initiated by Red Bull at the season’s start. The new inlet design, similar to McLaren’s, is not as elongated as some other teams, aiming to improve the airflow over the top surface of the sidepod, directing it more efficiently towards the beam wing and diffuser. This change enhances the aero elements’ effectiveness, contributing to better airflow under the car and increasing downforce."
The Devil is in the details.
