Haas will be the first team to reveal the livery of its 2022 car, with the US outfit releasing images of its contender on Friday.

The  renders will showcase the team's Uralkali-based livery with the actual new-spec VF-22 being revealed to the public ahead of pre-season testing in Barcelona as has been the case in the past.

Haas got an early start on its 2022 program which compelled the team not to develop its 2021 car raced last year by rookies Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin.

The German and Russian hopefuls will embark on their second season with Haas, but with the hopes of pulling themselves and their team up the field and scoring points.

"My wish is that we can play in midfield," recently said Haas team boss Guenther Steiner. "That our boys can fight, and we see how good our boys are now.

"We don’t know how good they are compared to the others. My wish is that we as a team can pick up where we left off in 2019. That we can move forward again."

This season will be Haas' seventh campaign in F1 since its debut in 2016, with the team achieving its best results in 2018 when it finished fifth in F1's Constructors' standings.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
