The Ferrari-powered VF-24 will make it’s circuit debut at Silverstone Circuit on Sunday February 11 with Hulkenberg undertaking shakedown duties before the Kannapolis-Banbury outfit travels to Bahrain for pre-season testing February 21-23.
Releasing a string of digital renders of it’s VF-24 racers across it’s MoneyGram Haas F1 Team’s social media platforms, the VF-24 design is an evolution of last season’s predecessor, the VF-23, which was a predominantly black livery with red and white accords.

Haas Tooling, Palm Angels, Chipotle, Oakberry, Tricorp, TravisMathew, Alpinestars and Pirelli are all represented with their respective logos on the VF-24.
The 2024 campaign will also see Play’N’GO, the team’s existing partner, which is a global leader in supplying entertainment to the casino industry and creator of some of the world’s most played online casino games, increase its commitment to Haas. The multi-year alliance will see additional Play’N’GO branding across the VF-24, driver and team assets.
“I’m looking forward to seeing the VF-24 running and racing – a sentiment I know I share with our partners and indeed the entire team,” explained Chairman of MoneyGram Haas F1 Team Gene Haas. “In Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen, we also know we’ve got a great pair of drivers behind the wheel, their experience will prove invaluable again as we develop our program through the year. We’ve used the off-season to put the processes in place to be better and ultimately improve our overall performance. Soon we get to see how we’re doing.” Haas concluded.

This will be their first Formula 1 season without Guenther Steiner, with Ayao Komatsu taking his place after being promoted from his engineering role to the Team Principal position.

I know we’ll be maximizing our time in Bahrain with all the various items we need to push through. Bottom line, we can’t wait to get going and get the season underway.” Komatsu concluded.
