Haas Struggles with Rear Downforce | F1 News
Description
Haas is in deep trouble in Formula One, with both drivers failing to score points at the Belgian Grand Prix — their fourth straight race without a podium. The core issue? A critical lack of rear downforce that’s crippling their performance on key tracks. Though upgrades like a new front wing have improved drivability and driver confidence, they haven’t delivered the speed needed to climb the grid. Drivers are frustrated — Ocon calls it a “huge deficit,” while Bearman admits they’re still far from competitive. Team boss Ayao Komatsu admits they were too slow to diagnose the VF-26’s flaws, which were hidden early on but now painfully obvious. The team is now racing to fix their development process, hoping the Hungarian GP’s slower corners will finally give them a chance to shine.
