The Ameriꦆcan outfit terminated its title sponsorship deal with Russian chemicals company Uralkali and driver Nikita Mazepin earlier this week in respon൲se to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24. 

Haas' previous liver🎶y featured a design incor💖porating the colours of the Russian flag, with Uralkali’s branding featuring heavily. 

Mazepin and his billionaire father Dmitry, who co-owns Uralkali and is a close associate of Russian Presidenജt Vladimir Putin, were both added to a list of Russians sanღctioned over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. 

On Thursday, the team revealed its updated livery with Haas branding featuring predominately on a white, red and black colo♛ursheme. 

First look at our livery for 2022!

Haas is not taking part in Thursday morning’s first session in Bahrain after it encountered freight delays but reserve driver Pie🎉tro 💧Fittipaldi is due to drive the VF-22 this afternoon. 

The returning Kevin Magnussen, who has signed for Haas on a “mul✅ti-year contract” as a replacement for the ousted Mazepin, is in Bahrain and completed a seat fit on Thursday morning. 

Magnussen is due to split running wi༺th teammate Mick Schumache🔥r over the final two days of pre-season testing. 

“I was obviously very surprised but equally very excited t💃o receive the call from Haas F1  team,” said Magnussen. 

“I was looking in a different direction regarding my commitments for 2022 but the opportunity to꧒ return to compete in Formula 1, and wit𝐆h a team I know extremely well, was simply too appealing.”
