Haas has finally revealed its true challenger for the forthcoming F1 campaign via a shakedown ahead of this week's first pre-season test.

Haas was the first team to unveil its 2022 car designed to the new aerodynamic rules, albeit via a series of renderings.

But two days ahead of testing beginning at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya, the VF-22 has now officially been unveiled by taking to the Spanish track.

Nikita Mazepin was at the wheel of the car for the shakedown as the team ran the rule over the car's systems.

After opting not to develop last year's VF-21 at any stage, culminating in a point-less season and last in the constructors' championship in the process, the team pushed all its resources into this year's car in a bid to again climb the order.

And we are GO!
