The new Haas VF-22 has been seen for the first time on Monday morning, at which time it has started a filming day at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
Nikita Mazepin has been in charge of making the Haas VF-22 debut at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, where the American team has started a day of filming day or shake down as a step prior to the start of the preseason this Wednesday, February 23, at the same location.
The new single-seater, which was presented virtually and through digital recreations on February 4, took to the track early this Monday on a sunny day with favorable weather conditions.

Haas will be able to complete a maximum of 100 kilometers with the new Haas VF-22 and exhibition tires specific for this type of event, which will not allow the team to draw too many conclusions about the potential of the car, but it will mean that the usual preliminary checks on all new cars are carried out before starting the preseason.
This year, Haas hopes to leave the last positions of the grid and join the group that aims for points in each Grand Prix, for which it will have the same pair of drivers as in 2021: the aforementioned Nikita Mazepin and Mike Schumacher. Both already have a year of experience and it is expected that they will show a much more consistent performance than in their debut season.
