The new HAAS car returns to the familiar livery but I kind of like how it looks from the front. Improved. Especially the nose and front wing I really like it

Has it been revealed and we all missed it or is this what you are wishing for?

Revealed. Link above. 

[Jvr]

Yes, it's been revealed.

[sgtkate]

Yes.

Ooooooh! Shiny. I rather like it. That's a very early launch isn't it? Maybe keen to ditch Rich Energy?

[TomNokoe]

Haas livery is really nice. I've often thought that the shape and dimensions of today's cars aren't really conducive to nice liveries.

Whenever somebody remasters a 1990s livery on modern chassis, it always looks crap.

[GoldenColt]

Nice livery, best one they've had so far since entering F1.

[Clrnc]

Agreed. Really a fantastic looking car even with a familiar color scheme. Shows that if you put in the effort you can improve designs year in year out even in iconic colors. 

The black part on the front wing have stripes on it. Nice

[TomNokoe]

The red chevron on the nose looks like something Philip Morris would approve of!

[SparkPlug86]

Looks nice.

Those stripes on the front wing may prove interesting when you’ve got flow vis paint on the wing and trying to understand it though?

Good to see a decent colour scheme on the car. Now hopefully Williams will ditch their god awful effort from last year!!!

[SenorSjon]

Yes, it's been revealed.

 

 

Funny how this is the only pic with red Pirelli's. Other shots are white.

From that front view pic it looks like Haas has changed their front wing concept into last year's Ferrari/Alfa style i.e. the highest profile is not at the ends.

[SenorSjon]

Much better livery than their old drab ones.

[Jvr]

AMuS pictures also would indicate it has much more rake than last year.

[Anja]

It's... fine. I don't get the praise, it's really close to the "boring" 2016 and 2018 liveries.

Good spot. I think Red Bull trialled something similar at Interlagos last year too. I think we'll see a few teams go down that route.

[TecnoRacing]

Not a bad livery - a bit of a generic 'F2' quality (like ART 2019) - but certainly clean and non-offensive. HAAS text looks nicer without the key-lines found on the older grey liveries

[f1rules]

beautiful looking car i have to say, sauber nose by the looks, ferrari mclaren style fw, fins along the floor edge

Edited by f1rules, 06 February 2020 - 14:52.

[noikeee]

I like the livery a lot, like someone said reminds me of a few ART liveries in GP2/F2 (ex the one in the Lewis Hamilton year).

[BuddyHolly]

I'm on the fence.  I've seen much worse, but then I've seen much better also.

Edited by BuddyHolly, 06 February 2020 - 14:58.

[Imateria]

I really like it, not the boring shades of grey they had before, the white, black and red highlights work well together.

[SenorSjon]

Well, it isn't a fax machine or copier like the dull grey ones they had before.

[messy]

Really like that livery. Good start. 

[Pimpwerx]

Good idea to get this into the open first. That livery won't stand up well compared to the big teams, I think. I expect Red Bull to once again win the pre-season livery award, only to bore us all to tears with a return to their normal livery for the regular season.

[statman]

[Alexis*27]

Best HAAS livery so far.

 

Grey never works - much better with the black.

[Ali623]

I like it, clean, professional - hopefully a sign of things to come this season...

[FullOppositeLock]

Wow, pleasantly surprised that we get to see a 2020 car/livery so soon in February, and it’s a good one too. Well done Haas.

[Paco]

Safe boring and uninspired.. yeah i said. I can’t believe how well received it has been on here. Easily may end up being the worst of the entire grid. Yes yes it’s soley a branding exercise but wow, it’s sooooo dull. Maybe the car will end up just as bad and allow Williams to move up the grid a bit Hope so, as I don’t want to be seeing it much on TV.

It's OK but what is the obsession with black, white and red liveries?  Half the race cars of the world seem to be in those limited colours.  Obviously modern day graphic designers are all colour blind.  What's wrong with blue, green, yellow, mauve, pink, teal, biege, brown..........etc?

 

What Haas need is a title sponsor with a striking colour scheme.  Maybe an energy drink company or something like that. 

[SonGoku]

I am more concerned about the lack of sponsors on that car.

[Paco]

Great point as well. Steiner has already said I believe they were one of the smallest budgets so add in that fact you pointed out, yeah going to be hard to develop as the season goes on, they could be leaped a spot or 2 if they can’t develop as the season goes on irregardless of how they come out in the 1st three races.

Haas would plaster whatever colour like FI did if a sponsor was different. This is just Haas staleness. I get year1 conservatism as not to overdo your entry but they are established already and this is just plain dull like the squad. They’re lucky to have a personalality like Steiner to breath life into that team.

[BobbyRicky]

Where is Rich Energy?

[Jovanotti]

Ok livery, but I think it will once again look boring on track.

[theflyingwheel]

I find this livery very pleasant, the shiny candy colors look very nice, maybe its just a personal taste but i like even the color scheme despite being the usual corporate grey/red pallet.

[MikeV1987]

A bit of a boring livery but I’m sure it will grow on me.

[Nathan]

This was the first thing I noticed as well.  I understand Peak increased it's spending, but I doubt it was by too much.

 

Guys who render cars (Sean Bull etc.) should take note how to do clean and proper sponsorship liveries.

[midgrid]

I do like the fact that Haas have subtly changed their livery every season (Rich Energy aside) - it makes it easy to distinguish one season's car from another, and each livery feels somewhat fresh, even though they are all similar.  Compare with, say, Toyota's near-identical livery year-on-year.

Red, black and white are literally Haas' corporate colours. It's not like anyone accuses Ferrari of staleness in spite of painting their cars red for 70 years in a row.

[jjcale]

Needs more sponsors .... 

[SuperSwede]

It´s kind of Indy-esque which I find suitable for an US based team and by far their best looking livery since they entered F1 IMO. 

Edited by SuperSwede, 06 February 2020 - 17:41.

[PayasYouRace]

It’s a nice bold variation on their corporate livery. Yeah it would be nice to see another title sponsor, or should I say, a real title sponsor.

[boomn]

(With the usual caveat that this is a pre-launch car and they may have left pieces out for now).  The aero pieces ahead of the sidepods appear new and unique to me.  

 

And they look like a rib cage!  It reminds me of a Mad Max car decorated with bones, or Jeremy Clarkson's bone car

 

[LightningMcQueen]

Where is Rich Energy?

Lol

It’s the not colours chosen, it’s the blandness of their execution. And people do freak about Ferrari changing it up.. they don’t even use the proper RED Ferrari which irks many for a while now and their was an acceptance of the matte if it was truly for a performance edge. Ferrari seem to want to change it up, but fans are more reluctant. I’d love to see a Dino Yellow Ferrari for a change, especially at their home race or as test colour.. that said, their livery at least is modern and not super safe typically. Mercedes would be nice for a reinterpretation of their current approach but maybe they’ll hold out until 2021. Back onto Haas..

Looks nothing like the SF90.. 

 

 

[boomn]

More photos available at AMUS from different angles and highlighting the details

[Izzyeviel]

Looks like an old Penske. i approve.

[MortenF1]

But seriously, does it resemble the SF90 in any way? I’m not the F1 nerd I used to be so I no longer have a trained eye for such details.
