Haas will launch their 2020 car, the VF-20, in the pit lane ahead of the first day of preseason testing on February 19.

Haas are the eighth team to formally announce their plans for the launch of their 2020 car and join Alfa Romeo in a Barcelona pit lane launch. The covers will be lifted at 8:00 local time, just fifteen minutes ahead of the Alfa Romeo launch at 8:15.

The American team struggled in 2019 as tyre problems plagued their season, a year which yielded the lowest points return in their Formula One stay - scoring just 28-points and finishing ahead on only Williams in the standings.

Haas will again field the same driver lineup of Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen in 2020. At times in 2019, team boss Guenther Steiner publicly criticised the two drivers, specifically after the British Grand Prix where the two men collided with each other on lap one.

While the hope will be that the VF-20 is an all around stronger package, both Grosjean and Magnussen will know that they have to perform in 2020 if they are to earn an further extension.
