The American outfit terminated its title sponsorship deal with Rus𓆏sian chemicals company Uralkali and driver♛ Nikita Mazepin earlier this week in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24. 

Haas' previous livery featured a desig🐬n incorporating the colours of the Russian flag, with Uralkali’s branding featuring heavily. 

Mazepin and his billionaire father Dmitry, who co-owns Uralkali and is a close associate of R🐻ussian President Vladimir Putin, were both added to a list of Russians sanctioned over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. 

On Thursday, the team revealed its updated livery with Haas branding featuring predo♎minately on a white, red and black coloursheme. 

First look at our livery for 2022!

Haas is not ta🦩king part in Thursday morning’s first session in Bahra☂in after it encountered freight delays but reserve driver Pietro Fittipaldi is due to drive the VF-22 this afternoon. 

The returning Kevin Magnussen, who has signed for Haas on a “multi-y𓃲ear contract” as a replacement for the ousted Mazepin, is in Bahrain and completed a seat fit on Thursday morning.&nbs🅺p;

Magnussen is due to split running with teammate Mick Schumacher over the final two💛 days of pre-season testing. 

“I was obviously very surprised but equally very excited to receive the call from Haas F1  team,” said Mag🌊nussen. 

“I was looking in a different direction regarding my commitments for 2022 but the opportunity to return to compete in Formula 1, and with a team I know extr🅰emely well, was simply too appealing.”
