The American outfit became the first team to unveil a glimpse of F1’s new era on Friday mꩵorning when it dropped a series of render images to present its 2022 colours that will adorn its new VF-22 challenger. 

Haas’ latest livery sees the team re💎tain its Russian-themed colour scheme with a predominantel🍃y white base, and red and blue stripes.  

In recent years, it has become traditional for Haas to release imagery of its new livery꧋ before presenting its full car in a physical launch at the start of pre-season testing. 

It will be a similar story up and down the grid, with teams keen not to give away any of their design ✃s🐓ecrets before the action gets underway at the opening three-day shakedown test in Barcelona on February 23-25.

Haas is looking to move up the pecking order this year after finishing rock-bottom with the slowest car in 202💫1, having elected not to develop its VF21 at all in order to focus its resources on this season’s regulation shake-up. 

“It’s exciting to be at the point where we know the VF-22 will be on-track shortly,” said Haas team principal Guenther Steiner. “We all know what the team is capable of, we’ve proved that in the past, and with this new car – born out of a completely new set of ♎regulations and 🌞with our new design team in place, I’m confident we can showcase once again that we can compete on weekends.

"ꦫIt’s been a tremendous effort by everyone involved and now comes the fun part of getting the new car to the circuit and dialing in all the elements. Last season was a long one but I’m confident that 2022 will see us back in the mix with the VF-22.” 

Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin once again form Haas’ line-up and will 🌊be hoping the VF-22 is enough of an improvement to enable them to challenge🐼 for points during their second season in F1 after enduring a tough rookie year.

Haꦜas was the only team that failed to score points in 2021, with Schumacher recording a season-best resu💖lt of 12th at the Hungarian Grand Prix. 

Red Bull will be the next team to reveal its 2022 car - the RB18 - on Wednesday, marking the first of three launches in successive d🍌ays with Aston Martin and McLaren following on Thursday and Friday respectively. 

AlphaTauri, Ferrari, Mercedes and Alpine will all present their cars before pre-season testing, while Alfa Romeo has taken the unusual appro🔴ach of deciding not to formally launch its 2022 car until after the first test. 

Instead, the Swiss-based squad will run its C42 in a special interim liver☂y for the Barcelona test. 

Williams is the only team yet to confirm it𒈔s launch plans for the FW44.
