Haas modifies its livery for the last day of testing in Barcelona
Haas has decided to react following the onset of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. The American team will race with an all-white livery for the final day of testing in Barcelona.
For the past two years, motor racing has been constantly adapting to the global situation. After facing a health crisis with the Covid-19 pandemic, Formula 1 now has to deal with a geopolitical crisis as the conflict between Ukraine and Russia begins.
With a livery in the colors of the Russian flag and a main sponsor of that nationality, the Haas team attracts all the attention. And to respond to the numerous calls from fans on social media, the team owned by Gene Haas has decided to take responsibility. For the last day of the first round of winter testing, Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin’s car will run with an entirely white livery, devoid of any reference to Russia.
On the images below, we can see the members of the American team removing the stickers of the sponsor in question.
The work continues… #F1Testing #HaasF1 #F12022 #Russia
