Haas have become the first Formula One team to break cover with their new car.

The American outfit, who finished fifth in last year’s constructors’ championship, have adopted a black and gold colour scheme following their tie-up with drinks manufacturer, Rich Energy.

Their car was unveiled at the Royal Automobile Club in London on Thursday.

Frenchman Romain Grosjean and Danish driver Kevin Magnussen will continue to race for Haas as the team prepare for only their fourth campaign on the F1 grid.

Mercedes, the reigning five-time world champions, will launch their new machine during a private test at Silverstone on Wednesday.

The opening winter test kicks off at Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya a week on Monday ahead of the first race in Melbourne in March.
