Gene Haas will drive one of the F1 cars bearing his name at the
2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed in July. The American will take the
wheel of a Haas VF-23, which was raced by Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin
Magnussen during the 2023 F1 season, on Friday 11 July, as part of
the famed hillclimb event. Team principal Ayao Komatsu will also be
in the cockpit that day, driving the VF-24 from last year - as he
will do the day prior, as well. Also, vice chairman of Toyota Gazoo
Racing Europe, Kazuki Nakajima, who raced in F1 from 2007 to 2009,
will take the 2023 car for a spin on Thursday. Current drivers
Esteban Ocon and Ollie Bearman will take over driving duties on
Saturday and Sunday. Haas will also showcase the VF-16 from its
debut F1 season in the Ballroom Paddock, alongside its 2025
challenger, the VF-25. At the recent Canadian Grand Prix, the
Kannapolis squad celebrated its 200th grand prix in F1. This
season, the team is seventh in the constructors' standings on 29
points. It is seven points behind Racing Bulls in sixth and just a
single point clear of Aston Martin in eighth.
