Haas Updates Car for Monza Amid Scepticism

Haas has introduced updates for its Monza-spec VF-26 as Oliver Bearman expresses scepticism about the car's performance after rivals outdeveloped the team.

After a promising start to the 2026 Formula 1 season, Haas admits it has been overtaken by its rivals. Team boss Ayao Komatsu and driver Oliver Bearman remain hopeful the team can catch up soon, despite acknowledging the VF-26 has fallen behind competitors.

The American team, which traditionally starts seasons strongly, has continued this pattern in 2026 by picking up points in the first three races. However, with the upcoming Monza Grand Prix, Haas is implementing updates in an effort to regain competitiveness. capturengo.com
