Formula 1 season is about to begin: Haas kicks off on Friday

It's Friday, February 4, and the season is really about to begin. Haas is the first to show the new livery for the upcoming season and that sets in motion a whole series of car launches.

Haas kicks off

For the Formula 1 fan, the next few weeks are going to be great, because, after a long winter break, things are finally underway. On Thursday, an article appeared on GPblog,  with the most important moments for the coming month, but with the early launch of Haas the circus gets going a little earlier.

On Thursday, Haas announced that it will present the livery for 2022 at 11:00 GMT. This is a livery, although the image said 'Car Reveal'. The question is whether we will see the new livery on an old car, a sample 2022 car, or already on the official VF22.

Busy F1 Weeks

This makes Haas the first in line, as the next one was only scheduled for next week. That honor falls to Red Bull Racing, which will show the new livery on February 9. In the same week Aston Martin and McLaren will also present their cars. The following week it is the turn of AlphaTauri, Ferrari and Mercedes, with Alpine's coming two days before the first day of testing.

Alfa Romeo chooses a remarkable moment for its car launch. The Italian team will not present the car until February 27, between the first and second winter tests. It is not yet clear if Alfa will therefore drive a different livery/car in Barcelona. For Williams, the date for the car launch is not yet known.
