Haas finally shows the real VF22 with shakedown in Barcelona
Haas showed a 3D computer render during their car launch, but the real VF22 has now been seen at the Circuit de Catalunya, the venue where the American team are doing a shakedown.
Haas was the first team to show the car for the 2022 Formula 1 season to the public on 4 February, but it didn't tell us much. The livery was not much different from last season's and the car looked a lot like the F1 show model. It was therefore a livery reveal and not a real car reveal.
Test for Haas
The real car reveal actually takes place on Monday morning. The team will send the VF22 to the circuit in Barcelona for a shakedown. Haas is the first team to test around the Barcelona circuit, before all the other teams do so during the first winter test which starts on Wednesday.
In the video released by the team, we see Nikita Mazepin at the wheel of the new car. He will also get behind the wheel in the morning on Wednesday, the team announced on Sunday. Whether Mick Schumacher will also be in action on Monday has not yet been announced.
And we are GO!
