Haas reveal test as major F1 milestone hit

Haas has confirmed that it will hit the track this week at the Circuito de Jerez, in its first-ever TPC (Testing of Previous Cars). 

The American outfit will field both of its new drivers, Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman, as well as Toyota Gazoo Racing driver Ritomo Miyata. 

Its 2023 challenger, the VF-23, is the car which Haas will use in the test this week at the Spanish Circuit.

For Ocon, it will mark his second Haas test following his switch from Alpine, having driven for his new team in the post-season Abu Dhabi test at the Yas Marina Circuit. 

As for Bearman, the test will represent his first as a full-time F1 driver after making three grand prix appearances last year. 

Miyata, who competed in his debut Formula 2 campaign last season for Rodin Motorsport, will step foot in an F1 car for the first time in his career in Jerez. 

For the upcoming season, the Japanese driver is set to compete in F2 once again, this time for ART Grand Prix.
