Haas Updates Car for Monza Despite Scepticism

Haas admits being overtaken and out-developed by rivals in 2026 but remains hopeful of catching up soon with an updated car for the Monza Grand Prix.

After starting the 2026 Formula 1 season strongly, Haas has acknowledged that it has been overtaken and out-developed by its rivals this year. Team boss Ayao Komatsu and driver Oliver Bearman both remain hopeful that the team can catch back up with the pack "soon" despite the challenges.

Haas has traditionally started seasons strong, and continued this pattern in 2026 when it picked up points in the first three races. The team is now updating its VF-26 car specifically for the upcoming Monza Grand Prix, with Bearman expressing scepticism about the car's current performance while still maintaining optimism about the team's ability to improve. mieszalniakolorado.pl
