Overview

• Grosjean will drive Haas’s 2023 VF-23 at Mugello on Friday as part of the Testing of Previous Cars program.
• TPC regulations restrict running to cars at least two seasons old, prompting Haas to use the VF-23 instead of its current challenger.
• Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu will reprise his former role as Grosjean’s race engineer alongside several ex-teammates.
• The Frenchman will wear the helmet designed by his children for the Abu Dhabi 2020 race he missed after the Bahrain accident.
• This is a one-day, non-competitive outing that does not signal a competitive comeback following his post-2020 move to IndyCar.
