F1 RACE CAR
MoneyGram Haas F1 Team VF-24
The midfield surprise of 2024
Komatsu’s first technical decision was to slow the VF-24’s development cadence and concentrate on tyre-degradation behaviour rather than peak qualifying pace. The result was a car that lost half a second in qualifying but kept its place — and frequently gained — across long stints.
Nico Hülkenberg drove it to seven points-finishes across the season; Kevin Magnussen contributed two more. By Brazil it was clear Haas was no longer at the back, and at the end of the year Komatsu won several team-principal-of-the-year ballots from the specialist press.
