Following its usual pitlane launch tradition, the Haas F1 Team unveiled its actual new 2023 challenger, the VF-23, in Bahrain ahead of the start of pre-season testing.

The team's fans were already given a glimpse of Haas' new car when the outfit released a picture of its VF23 following its shakedown at Silverstone.

The car's new design retains the core black, white and red colour scheme, but changes the balance of how they appear on the chassis.

And there's more prominent placement on the engine cover and front wing for the logo of Moneygram, which came on board as the team's title sponsor at the end of last year.

Team boss Guenther Steiner, Kevin Magnussen and F1 returnee Nico Hulkenberg flanked the new car ahead of its baptism of fire which will be entrusted to the German driver, with Magnussen taking over testing duties Thursday afternoon.
