Haas kicks off 2026 F1 car work well ahead of season

TL;DR
Haas says its 2026 VF-26 was developed from mid-2024 by a small dedicated group, with wind tunnel/CFD testing bans limiting new-car work until 2025; the car will be updated for the season opener, and energy management under the 2026 power split will be a key challenge for the team.
