Haas fires up Ferrari 'rocket' engine for F1 season 2023

Haas' VF-23 could not yet be seen at the launch of the team's new livery, but the power unit can now be heard. Two days after the presentation, the US team will let you hear the Ferrari engine come to life.

An important part of the preparations for the new F1 season is the fire-up of the power unit. After presenting the livery for 2023, Haas shared on social media how the Ferrari engine in the new car is being brought to life. Rumours suggested that Ferrari's power unit will improve by as much as 30 horsepower in 2023, but there is no evidence of that as yet.

Haas presented the new livery of the VF-23 on Tuesday, becoming the first F1 team to show the livery for the 2023 season. The team is moving away from a predominantly white design and has opted for more black, with white and red accents. A shakedown of the new car will follow at Silverstone on 11 February.
