Formula 1's return to racing took a step closer this week, with the revealing of Haas' new car for 2024, the first team to give us their full car unveiling.

While F1 news has been dominated by Lewis Hamilton's decision to switch teams for the start of the 2025 season, Haas prevailed with their big reveal to bring some normality back to F1 Twitter (X).

It will be the team's first season in the sport without their talismanic figure Guenther Steiner, who was relieved from his duties after Haas finished bottom of the constructors' championship in 2023.

He instead has been replaced by Ayao Komatsu, who has made the step up having been with the team since their inception in the sport back in 2016.
