Haas has chosen the French GP to bring the first developments on the VF-22: waiting to see in detail what are the changes that will debut at the Paul Ricard, we are able to show you the first novelty regarding the wing side bulkhead. front.
Simone Resta, technical director of the American team, intervened in the external part of the endplate by changing the design of the bib which was horizontal and opened in an unusual V shape in the trailing edge, separating the flow of the flows upwards and down.

This profile was placed just over a third of the bulkhead height, but has now been significantly lowered following a concept first introduced by Mercedes on the W13 in Great Britain.
The trend of the bib has become curved upwards, more in line with the choices of the other teams, highlighting how the single-seaters tend towards a convergence of choices.
Haas also brought the old solution to Castellet and will certainly carry out comparative tests to validate the new solution in the transalpine race.
