Haas will run a special livery in F1 Japanese GP weekend, with the addition of the spring flower motif on most parts of the VF-25.
While rumours about Red Bull adorning a special livery is ablaze, Haas quietly shared its colours for this weekend’s F1 Japanese GP at Suzuka. They are to run one-off livery by adding spring flower motif on most parts of the VF-25.
“To celebrate the official launch of cherry blossom season in Japan, MoneyGram Haas F1 Team is paying homage to the “sakura” with a bespoke livery for the Japanese Grand Prix,” it said in its press release. “The popular spring flower motif will feature across the VF-25 and digital assets throughout race week.”
This will also be the first race in Japan after Haas signed a deal with Toyota GAZOO Racing last year to become one of its partners, especially for the Testing Previous Cars programme. The team is likely to have changes too to combat their fundamental issue.
After Australia exposed a problem in the high-speed corner, Haas had a better China weekend, but their problems still exist. “After a very successful weekend in Shanghai, we’re energized to come to Japan. Suzuka is a very challenging circuit both for drivers and engineers to setup the car right,” said team boss Ayao Komatsu.
“Even though we raced competitively in Shanghai, we know that we still carry a fundamental car issue that was exposed in Melbourne. We’re going into this weekend with our eyes wide open to tackle any challenges we might face and aim to get the best out of the VF-25 and our drivers.”
