Haas will mark its 200th grand prix this weekend by reintroducing the livery it used when it first entered the championship.
The team has revealed images of its VF-25 in the colours it used when Romain Grosjean and Esteban Gutierrez contested their first race at Melbourne in 2016.
Its base colour has shifted from white to grey, while the Haas letters on its sidepod will be red instead of the usual black. Its front and rear wing end plates, ordinarily white and black respectively, have also been changed to red.
Haas has not switched to an entirely black front wing, as used on its VF-26. This will remain largely red, in deference to its title sponsor. However the larger lower element of the wing will be black and carries the names of the team’s staff.
The team has also painted the halo grey. Its 2016 car did not have one, as they were not introduced until 2018, however when the team tested one at the Brazilian Grand Prix that year they left it black.
F1’s newest team enjoyed a famously impressive start to life in the series as Grosjean finished sixth on their debut and fifth in their second appearance, in Bahrain. The team has only beaten that once since, when Grosjean finished fourth at the Austrian Grand Prix in 2018.
The team is enjoying one of its strongest seasons this year since entering the championship. They are seventh in the standings after nine rounds, two points behind Racing Bulls.

This will be the second time this year Haas has changed its livery. It used a pink cherry blossom design for the Japanese Grand Prix, the home race of its technical partner Toyota.
