Reacting to the Haas VF22, WTF1 TV presenter Matt Gallagher said:

While the Haas team unveiled a digital rendering and not the proper car, the fans were underwhelmed at the launch. The VF22 will run shakedown laps at Barcelona later in the month, however until then fans were underwhelmed by the car’s livery.

The VF22 is built on new 2022 regulations, but the car being a development model and not an actual working model, leaves little room for any technical analysis.

Commenting on the livery, one F1 fan, Matt Gible, said:

Most teams use a different launch livery compared to the ones used in pre-season tests or even the digital renderings. Therefore, one can expect the VF22 to go through some significant changes by the first race in Bahrain in March.

German journalist confirms 2022 Haas car rendering is from its earlier stage

German journalist Tobi Gruner from Auto Motor und Sport revealed that the rendering of the Haas VF22 was from its developmental stage and did not feature upgrades. The German journalist believes there will be several changes to the car before the pre-season tests in Barcelona, which will include more sponsors on its livery.

Tweeting about VF22 on his social media handle, Gruner said:

The team has confirmed that VF22 is the first design from their Maranello design office led by Technical Director Simone Resta with a new group of technical personnel under his wings.

The American team has shared a close relationship with Ferrari and are speculated to have produced a similar car to the Italian team, who unveiled their 2022 challenger on February 17.
