Kamui Kobayashi conducts tests with Haas
On Thursday, the Haas team conducts private tests at the French Paul Ricard circuit with Kamui Kobayashi.
The Japanese racer got behind the wheel of the VF-23 car in 2023 as part of the Haas-Toyota collaboration that began last year. One of the forms of such cooperation is tests on cars from previous years of production, to which Haas invites Toyota specialists and racers to gain experience.
For Kamui Kobayashi, who is Toyota's factory driver in the World Endurance Championship, this is his first time driving a Formula 1 car in many years. The last time a Japanese racer started in Formula 1 was at the 2014 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix driving a Caterham.
