She was the first to reveal her colors for the 2022 season of Formula 1, it is also in pole position to set foot on the track of the Barcelona circuit (Spain): the team Haas indeed drove on the Catalan route this Monday, February 21, with the VF-22.

The Russian Nikita mazepin was able to complete a few loops with his new car, while the first collective winter tests will only begin on Wednesday February 23 (until February 25).

The VF-22 presented in Barcelona no longer has much to do with the 3D images broadcast on February 4. The front wing stages are much flatter. Two fins frame the side pillars of the Halo. A little higher, at the level of the air intake, two amounts similar to those used by Ferrari have been added.
