IN PICTURES – All Haas liveries since 2016

Haas was the first team to present its car for the 2024 season (the second to reveal its livery after McLaren). The opportunity to return to the different appearances that the car American since her first steps in the premier category, 8 years ago.

2016: Haas VF-16

Un Romain Grosjean poached from Lotus and the Mexican Esteban Gutiérrez were the first to take the wheel of a grey, black and red single-seater which caused a sensation: points scored at the opening of the season, in Melbourne (Australia), by the Frenchman. Grosjean leads the Haas in 5th position at the following Bahrain Grand Prix but, unfortunately, the rest of the season will be difficult. Several problems, notably with the brakes, considerably slowed down Haas' good momentum. Result: 8th place in the Manufacturers' championship.

2017: Haas VF-17

After a season considered unsatisfactory by Giutérrez, it is the ex-Renault Sport F1 Kévin Magnussen who comes to support Romain Grosjean. Several reliability glitches mar the explosive dynamic of the driver duo, but the team can console itself with an 8th place for Magnussen in China, then a 6th position in Austria for Grosjean. The American team retains its place in the Manufacturers.

2018: Haas VF-18

The 2018 season began under the same auspices as the previous one, with a double retirement from the opening Grand Prix. But the trend is quickly reversing. Grosjean and Magnussen regularly scored points with, as a highlight, the Frenchman taking 4th place in Austria. But the latter will be disqualified in Italy, the flat bottom of his car deemed non-compliant by the FIA. Despite everything, 2018 will be the team's best year so far, with a good 5th place in the general classification.

2019 – Haas VF-19

Accompanied by a new sponsor, Rich Energy, the young American team is gaining ground... but not for long. The energy drinks firm is accused of logo plagiarism, ceases the partnership for the first time, quickly mends the links between it and the team, before declaring a definitive divorce. The only legacy left to Haas: a general fiasco and a brand new black and gold livery. She kept her driver duo, but only recorded a 9th place in the championship.

2020 – Haas VF-20

The year promises to be dark for the American team in 2020. Only 3 points after 11 rounds, the car is stuck at the back of the grid. But the season is especially marked by Romain Grosjean's accident at the Bahrain Grand Prix, violently hitting the rail following contact with Daniil Kvyat. The driver manages to escape the inferno, but he will be replaced by Pietro Fittipaldi for the last two rounds of a campaign which once again ends at the penultimate step of the championship.

2021 – Haas VF-21

Place for young people for the sixth year in the premier category of the Haas team. Magnussen and Grosjean give way to Nikita mazepin et Mick Schumacher. The arrival of the Russian allows the team to find a title sponsor in the presence of the Uralkali company, accompanied by a white-blue-red livery. But as 2021 is being approached as a transitional season before the 2022 revolution, Haas is not allocating any budget to the development of its current car. Coupled with the inexperience of the drivers and the low level of the team, the team painfully finished its campaign last in the championship.

2022 – Haas VF-22

The geopolitical context between Russia and Ukraine is shaking up the team's season. She broke her contracts with her sponsor and her driver, hastily recalling Kévin Magnussen at the wheel of a now white and virgin single-seater from sponsor Uralkali.

For the start of the season, Haas finally decided to integrate a few red stripes to dress up its car. Despite his one-year absence from the wheel of an F1, Kevin Magnussen caused a sensation by signing a pole position as saving as it was unexpected on the São Paulo track, in Brazil. Mick Schumacher scores his first points, at Silverstone (England) then in Austria. Despite a capricious car, Haas moved up to 8th position in the championship.

2023 – Haas VF-23

Mick Schumacher is fired in favor of a returning veteran, Nico Hulkenberg. Haas will this time be supported by title sponsor MoneyGram with a multi-year contract. It is dressed in the colors of its beginnings, in the hope of also finding colors on the track... but the hopes of the start of the season are cut short: if the VF-23 is relatively efficient in qualifying - notably with a front row for the German in Canada – it turns out to be in difficulty once Sunday comes. Result: a sad last place, like in 2021…

2024 – Haas VF-24

Last in the Constructors' Championship during the final exercise, Haas will experience a year of transition in 2024, and will have to learn to operate without its historic main team Günther Steiner, present since 2016 and the beginnings of the Banbury structure in F1. The Italian, whose departure was unexpected, did not see his contract renewed, the team boss preferring Ayao Komatsu and his more engineering and less managerial profile. Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hülkenberg will have the task of rebuilding the American team and moving it forward in 2024.
