HAAS REVEALS 2017 CAR
After a fairly successful 2016, the team is aiming to build on what they learned in their debut season, but the VF-17 is vastly different from its predecessor.
“I think the pedal box is the same, but all the rest is very different from last year’s car,” said team principal Guenther Steiner. “You always try to make a faster car, which is normally a lighter car. Now we can put on more ballast and get better weight distribution. The aero is completely new, as are the tyres, so we need to have some built in adjustability.”
The VF-17 features a geometric style shark fin and winglets on the side.
Livery wise, the new car keeps the Haas brand colours – red, grey, and black – and still lacks sponsors.
The car has already made its on track debut when it completed a shake down and filming session yesterday, but it will be driven in anger for the first time in next week’s test session.
Romain Grosjean, who continues at the team for a second season, and new comer Kevin Magnussen will split duties over the four days.
