The Haas Formula 1 team has confirmed that it will unveil its new car, the VF-20 in the Barcelona pit lane ahead of pre-season testing.
The covers will come off the car on February 19th at 8 AM CET, one hour before the green flag waves for the start of testing.
Haas s expected to return to their traditional colours that it used from 2016 to 2018, following the departure of its former title sponsor Rich Energy.
Haas' livery in 2019 incorporated the black and gold colours of the energy drink squad, and kept the livery when it parted ways with it midway through the season.
Kevin Magnussen and Romain Grosjean form the team's line-up for the fourth consecutive year, as it looks to bounce back from a trouble-filled 2019 campaign.

They are the biggest unknown for next year. They will either be in the top mid-field or down among the bottom runners, methinks.

I hope they can step it up to the level of the other mid-field teams. They have been saying they have figured out their issues, but let's see. People tend to blame the drivers for their lack of results, but I think it really was the car that let them down and not the drivers.

Last year's car was no doubt a bummer. However, I think it's fair to say that they've missed out on valuable points the other years. In 2018, they had a car worthy of P4, that place should've been their's but they couldn't deliver. I do however think Grosjean is the weak link there. 's just my take on it.
