Tbh this should be done in a speculation thread or team thread, not the car thread.

This is likely not the final car given we are weeks from preseason and Haas have in the past launched with a render that doesn't match up to their launch car (2022)

Can we lock car thread until it's on track/real and not just renders? Or until it's confirmed the renders are realistic

Well, sidepods are giveaway that it is a different car from VF23. and lower SIS definitely shows 2024 chassis.

It’s clearly not last year’s car. So fair game, I guess. It will not all change.

Yeah it's not like teams have ever created renders that don't depict reality... Cheese grater floor from sauber's 2023 launch?

We can always move the posts if that’s the case, but for now one must assume that the new features are for real. Maybe.

Fair enough

[CaribouBread]

Even if its a fake model or perhaps more likely an earlier model, it still shows the direction they're headed as its completely different from what they had previously. Worth looking at either way imo.

They abandoned the triangular airscope and likely also Ferrari will. So centerline cooling to reduce sidepods

First of many RB clones

Rb18-like sidepods but no crease



No waterslides



Interesting bodywork/packaging solution to duct some cooling air to the rear suspension hole. Not novel but the way they've shrink-wrapped the bodywork in the area is

No triangular airbox either which is intriguing. Sidepods still aren't small or low volume

I fear you're right, most cars will look the same this year, at least to begin with
