First Look as Haas show off bold new F1 look with overhauled VF-23 livery.
Haas have become the first F1 team to present their colours for the upcoming season, revealing a slick new livery that will adorn the VF-23 via a series of digital renders published on Tuesday.
Rather than a full-scale launch, Haas opted to showcase their 2023 livery on a 2022-style virtual model, with the team’s new car – which will be driven by Kevin Magnussen and new team mate Nico Hulkenberg, who replaces 2022 driver Mick Schumacher.
Replacing the white base seen on Haas’s 2021 and 2022 challengers, black is now the livery’s primary color, while flashes of white have been retained alongside red highlights, similar to the 2020 design.

Commenting on the digital launch, Gene Haas said: “I was very pleased to welcome MoneyGram as title partner for the 2023 season and beyond, and it’s exciting to see our first livery unveiled together as MoneyGram Haas F1 Team."
Haas Team Principal Guenther Steiner added: “I obviously share everyone’s enthusiasm around the livery unveil, not least as it’s a checkpoint in the pre-season calendar which means we’re another step closer to doing the thing we actually want to be doing – and that’s go racing. The whole organisation has been working hard to reach this point and obviously in Kevin and Nico we have two proven points-scoring talents locked in behind the wheel. I can’t wait to get started.”
The new Haas car will be in action in Bahrain for pre-season testing from February 23-25, followed by the opening round of the campaign a week later.
