Haas has completed its latest TPC running at Portimao, as it continues to "test and appraise" drivers in old F1 machinery.
Across a three-day test at the host of the Portuguese Grand Prix, the team ran three drivers in its 2025-spec VF-25 machine, including reserve driver Ryo Hirakawa.
The 2022 Le Mans 24 Hours has been the reserve driver for the team since last season and has completed a total of six FP1 outings for the squad, most recently at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
The other drivers being evaluated during the TPC running were reigning FIA F2 champion Leonardo Fornaroli, who previously drove for the team in a TPC outing in June, and Rafael Camara.
Brazilian Camara is a Ferrari junior driver and is currently third in the FIA F2 standings and in with a chance of winning the championship, having scored two victories thus far.
Both of Haas's regular F1 drivers, Oliver Bearman and Esteban Ocon, are currently in negotiations over extending their stays with the team into a third season as team-mates for 2027.
The team was not previously in a position to complete TPC running, but has been since it agreed a technical partnership with Toyota ahead of the 2026 season.
