Video: Haas demonstrates at Fuji with Ryo Hirakawa
Haas handed over the wheel of its single-seater to its reserve driver, Ryo Hirakawa, at the Fuji circuit in Japan.

A short video that will bring back good memories. Haas shared a video of Ryo Hirakawa driving the American team’s single-seater on the beautiful Fuji circuit.
The Japanese reserve driver was able to complete a few laps on this circuit, which has experienced great moments in Formula 1. From its arrival in the championship in 1976, the Japanese track was at the heart of one of the most beautiful and strange races in the world, culminating in a title for James Hunt.
More recently, in 2007, Robert Kubica and Felipe Massa provided one of the greatest battles in modern Formula 1 history in the rain.
