Haas to run special livery for home race weekend at Circuit of The Americas
Haas have revealed a special car livery for the United States Grand Prix weekend at the Circuit of The Americas, celebrating their second of three home races during the 2024 season.
Complementing the usual black, red and white colour scheme are some additional blue highlights and features such as white and black stars – a nod to the United States flag.

Haas have raced under the American flag since debuting in 2016, with their headquarters located in Kannapolis, North Carolina, alongside a European base in Banbury, Oxfordshire.
Haas’s first home race of 2024 came in Miami back in May, with their third to follow in Las Vegas in November.
Haas have not only made a change to the liveries on Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen’s cars, though, with a range of upgrades set to be unleashed at the Austin round as the squad aim to overhaul RB for sixth in the constructors’ standings.
“In Austin we’re bringing our main update for the final part of the season which will mainly involve another step of development in the floor and bodywork,” explained Technical Director Andrea De Zordo. “The target, as always, will be to improve aero load in order to make the car faster.
“It’s difficult to be making a big step in lap time, so we’re speaking about small numbers, but in the tight midfield fight everything is an important step, and we hope to deliver.
“This is a development and further evolution of our package, not something new, although the car will look a bit different.
“We’re fighting for P6 and that’s a very nice feeling. We really need to put everything in we can to achieve that because it would be amazing for everyone at this team who’s put so much work into making this season a success.”
Haas have 31 points to their name ahead of the final six rounds, three points behind rivals RB.
