Haas to start pre-season testing late

The season hasn't even officially started yet and it's already complicated for Haas. After the ouster of Urakali and Nikita mazepin Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the American team experienced some problems transporting equipment for pre-season testing in Bahrain, which begins this Thursday. Haas finally confirmed this Wednesday that the cargo had arrived, but that the delay would impact its participation in the tests. The team hopes to be on track for the second session on Thursday, the afternoon session, with Pietro Fittipaldi at the wheel of the VF-22. Waiting for another driver for the start of the season?

The team's freight arrived late last night to the circuit in Bahrain.

This delay will impact our program but we are targeting being out on track for the second session Thursday afternoon with @PiFitti driving the VF-22.# HaasF1 pic.twitter.com/Zppbjbkn8a
