The Haas Formula 1 team has officially launched its 2020 chalܫlenger with a rollout in the Barcelona pitlane prior to the start of pre-season testing෴. 

Afꦐter becoming the first team to reveal its livery for the upcoming season earlier this month, Haas took the covers off its VF-20 contender on the morning of the opening winter test at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. 

Haas’ latest challenger will see a return to its original black, red and grey colour scheme after ruℱnning a black-and-gold livery in 2019 due to its title partnership d♑eal with Rich Energy, which was terminated after less than a year. 

The VF-20 will be the Haas teams fifth car since it joined the F1 grid in 2🍷016. It will once again be driven by Romain Grosje🔥an and Kevin Magnussen, who were both retained for a fourth successive year as teammates. 

Haas’ new car hit the trac🅷k for the first time on Monday as part of a shared filming day at Barcelona with Renault and Williams also taking part. McLaren also completed a shakedown run at the Spanish Grand Prix venue on Sunday.

The American sqꦬuad is looking to move back towards the front of the midfield pack in 2020 after a disappointing 2019 campaign in which it slipped to ninth in the constructorꦇs’ championship, ahead of only Williams. It marked the American’s squad’s worst-ever finish in the standings since making its debut.
