    Summary

    Haas is gearing up for the 2025 Formula 1 season with the debut of their new car, the VF-25, set to take place on February 16 during a filming day at Silverstone. The team has made a significant shift in their driver lineup, bringing in Esteban Ocon from Alpine and rookie Ollie Bearman, who is moving up from Formula 2. Ocon will pilot the car in the initial filming session, aiming to ensure a successful installation before Bearman takes over during an additional session in Bahrain on February 24, just ahead of pre-season testing.

    Team Principal Ayao Komatsu has articulated the team's ambition to build on their successful 2024 campaign by enhancing consistency and competitiveness through a new monocoque design. He acknowledged the tougher competition anticipated this season, emphasizing a structured pre-season approach to identify and resolve any potential issues early on. Ocon, having recently tested the VF-25 at Yas Marina with 119 laps under his belt, is expected to adapt smoothly to the new car. With this strategic focus, Haas hopes to elevate their position within the F1 grid in the coming years.
