Haas had a terrible 2021 and Mazepin and Schumacher could only really measure against themselves. The team had planned this though and kept the funds aside for 2022s budget as the rule overhaul was far more important in the long term.

It wasn’t long ago they were going beautifully in 4th and 5th place in Melbourne so you wouldn’t write off a turnaround, though there are a few factors that will be important: how the drivers handle a better car, and the really interesting one- just how competitive will the new Ferrari V6 engine be?

To kick the season off and whet the appetite- we will get Haas full livery reveal today!!

 

Hass have published picutres of their 2022 car to get some attention AND to show others how not to design a car

I expect others to be far more extreme around the back end and engine areas and also some up with something interesting on the wheel air deflectors and hub covers and also the former barge board areas

to be fair to this bunch of losers its probably just a holding spot for attention and not the actual aero package in all its "glory"

 

Here it is:

It’s not a livery that wins anyone over- in fact their original one from when they joined was a lovely car!!

First glance looks very simplified and you would think hides the little tricks and aero that will begin to separate performance.

We will know soon enough! Great to kick off the 2022 launch season though!

 

It's bizarre livery.

The USA team with the Russian flag??? Nonsense.

The yanks f1 owners need to help the yank team to get yank sponsorship and yank drivers in to drive their exposure.

Marzipan and Russia? Crazy.

 

Haas have been on the Barcelona circuit this morning:

 

Looking slightly different there to what we saw for the launch.

 

Virtually identical

 

So we’re seeing different front wings on circuit compare to launch days aren’t we, certainly in then case of Macca and Haas

 

It's a baby, and ****ty one, ferrari.

 

This clearly aggressive stance needs to be sanctioned heavily before it causes trouble across Europe.

 

Prescient...

Haas dropping their Russian livery as a response to what we are all seeing on the news.

I wouldn’t like to be caught up in all of that and wish the team well and no issues for taking that stand.



Looks so much better.

 

Now the Russian GP has been cancelled and the removal of the Russian flag colours I wonder how safe Mazepin's seat is???
Maybe this is the perfect time for Andretti to swoop in and buy Haas?

 

Or Rich Energy

 

it's the second coming guys.
