Haas and Williams were the only teams yet to announce launch plans for 2022, but the American team has now announced that its livery will be unveiled tomorrow (February 4).
The team confirmed the news via Twitter, setting a target reveal time of 11am GMT.
Haas has traditionally unveiled its new livery via renderings before the start of each season, before presenting the full car at the start of winter testing.
The Haas VF-22 car will complete its first longer drive at the start of pre-season testing in Barcelona, February 23-25.
Drivers Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin will then complete a further three days of testing in Bahrain in mid-March, a week before the Sakhir circuit hosts the season’s opening race.
Haas adopted a new red, white and blue color scheme for 2021 following the arrival of Mazepin and his main backer Uralkali as the new title sponsor.
Haas will head into the new season eager to recover from a difficult 2021 in which he didn’t score points and slipped to last place in the Constructors’ Championship.
The team had expected to struggle last year after opting against developing their car in order to focus fully on the new 2022 technical regulations.
The fundamental overhaul of the regulations has the potential to shake up the pecking order, giving Haas hope to step up and get back to his old points form.
“If we had continued with these regulations, it would be very difficult to catch up,” team boss Gunther Steiner told Motorsport.com at the end of the 2021 season.
“So we start at least with almost the same competitive conditions. The big teams will always have more momentum, especially at the beginning of the budget cap with the resources they had before.
“But we’re leveling things out a little bit and at least if you’re a little off from the start you have a chance to catch up because we started together.
“Even if you fall behind, you are just a little bit behind and not a year in development. I think that should be an advantage. Hopefully we’ll come out of the box decently. And then we build on that.”
