Haas and Stake F1 also tested their 2024 race car
While Aston Martin launched its AMR24 on track just minutes after its unveiling, Haas and Stake F1 Team had already hit the track this weekend at Silverstone and Barcelona.
Just over a week after their digital livery presentation, the Haas VF-24 hit the track at Silverstone on Sunday, February 11th for its scheduled first shakedown.
Nico Hülkenberg was the driver in charge of the first Sunday session at the British Grand Prix circuit, also marking the beginning of a new era for the team following a management reorganization this winter.
Following Sunday’s practice session, Haas has already planned to organize a second shakedown in Bahrain on February 19th, prior to the start of pre-season testing on the same Sakhir circuit from February 21st to 23rd.
The video of the pit entry and exit, the only video published by Haas on this test day, can be found below.
Oh how we’ve missed that sound 🖤

Haas was not the only team to have hit the track this weekend. Stake F1 Team, formerly Sauber, also launched their brand new car at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya last Saturday.
As explained last week, the team’s title sponsor, Stake, is prohibited in most European countries where gambling promotion is forbidden, and therefore cannot be displayed on the car. Photos were leaked during the shakedown, and it was the logo of Kick, Stake’s sister company, that appeared on the side pods of the C44.
Stake F1 has only released a video of their race car at full speed on the straightaway of the Barcelona circuit, without providing any other information.
We back. 🖤💚
