Haas shows 'interpretation sweeping new regulations' with VF22

Haas was the first team to come out with the new car on Friday. The American racing team could count on both criticism and admiration. For Mark Hughes, it is now a matter of waiting to see what the other teams will do.

For Haas, it is essential that the upcoming season will be different from the one in 2021. Team boss Guenther Steiner communicated early on that the team's main focus was on 2022 and therefore took for granted the performance of Nikita Mazepin and Mick Schumacher last season. It resulted in no points for the team.

This calendar year that should change. In collaboration with Ferrari, Haas worked hard last year to get a powerful car on the track next season that would allow the team's drivers to compete in the midfield. Not only did that result in a nice picture this week, but we also saw the first images of what the car will look like in 2022.

"Overall, it’s a fascinating first look at how one team has interpreted 2022’s sweeping new regulations," Hughes writes on the official website of Formula 1. "And with nine more launches to follow in the coming weeks, key differences between this year’s field will start to emerge."
