Haas' 2022 F1 car makes on-track debut in Barcelona
Haas was the first F1 team to kick-off launch season when it released renders of its all-new challenger for this season.
With just two days until pre-season testing at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya gets underway, Haas has completed its filming day as it makes sure the car is ready for the three days of testing later this week.
In accordance with the FIA's regulations, teams are permitted to schedule one filming day - 100km of running on show tyres.
Nikita Mazepin was tasked with debuting the VF-22 in Barcelona, with the Russian remaining alongside Mick Schumacher in 2022.
Haas endured a point-less 2021 campaign after it opted not to develop its car last year to focus on the new regulations.
The American-outfit's alliance with Ferrari and solely focusing on the 2022 rules should mean Haas enjoys a more competitive campaign with a return to the midfield the aim according to team principal Guenther Steiner.
And we are GO!
