Haas has become the first Formula 1 team to reveal its 2018 car, titled the VF18. The car was launched online and is the American team's third car since joining the F1 grid in 2016.
The car will be piloted once again by Romain Grosjean, who has been with the team since its inception. Kevin Magnussen will partake in his second year with the team, having joined up at the start of 2017 as a replacement for Mexican Esteban Gutierrez.
The most noticeable change with the car is the Halo, which has been made mandatory for all teams in 2018 as the FIA eyes an improvement in driver safety. Also, it was elected last year that the shark fins and T-wings would no longer feature on the cars.
The car's livery resembles its maiden machine of 2016, with red featuring on its nose and rear wing. The American squad has also elected to paint it's Halo black, with teams having the freedom to design the device so it blends in with its livery.
Earlier this week, Gene Haas set out the goals for his team this season, stating that he hoped it would close in on Ferrari by half a second.
Bigger. Better. Faster. Lighter.
