The American-owned outfit is coming off the back of the recent bombshell news that long-serving team principal Guenther Steiner will not be staying on board after his contract was not extended.
Former director of engineering Ayao Komatsu has been promoted to the team boss job and is currently conducting a review of operations to work out how best to move things forward.
While Komatsu needs to address the bigger picture stuff, the team continues to push on with its 2024 car preparations – and has outlined plans to get valuable mileage under its belt before the official F1 pre-season test starts in Bahrain on 21 February.
Speaking to selected media including Autosport about the 2024 car plans, Komatsu said: “On 11 February we have a Silverstone shakedown and then two days before the official test starts, we have another shakedown in Bahrain. Then we go into the official testing.”
While the car will not be seen in public before the Silverstone shakedown, the team has previously released images of its contenders early - so it is possible fans may get a sneak glimpse again of any design changes.
Haas endured a difficult 2023 campaign where it finished bottom of the constructors’ championship standings despite its car showing impressive pace at times.
The squad battled for much of the season to try to get to the bottom of why the VF-23 was often so fast over a single lap but then struggled badly over race distances.
