American team Haas unveil 2022 F1 challenger

The VF-22 has been designed to Formula One's radically new rules, with revised aerodynamics aimed at improving wheel-to-wheel racing and 18-inch wheels

U.S.-owned Haas on Februrary 4 became the first team to take the wraps off their 2022 car, when they unveiled a digital rendering of their VF-22 challenger that they hope will bring drivers Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin their first Formula One points.

The team finished last overall in 2021 with neither Schumacher, son of seven times world champion Michael, nor Russian team mate Mazepin scoring points in a car that was often adrift of the rest of the field.

But the squad, having forgone development on last year's challenger to focus on their 2022 car, are pinning their hopes on the sport's new rules giving them the break they need to make their way back into the points-scoring positions.
