    Good looking car.

    Nice nose, sidepods are 2015 spec though, quite fatty compared to Ferrari/RB/Merc/Mclaren

    It does look good, but boy, it is fat. I thought they were using Ferrari´s 2016 engine, so they should have about the same size.

    Doesn't look bad at all to me.

    Pretty much today's 'cookie cutter' design. But man, these front wings are fugly!

    Not that it means a lot, but their web site is pretty well done too.

    Given they're baby Ferrari, I think they may surprise us a little.

    Certainly wish them well.

    Cheers,
    Ian

    Mad respect to HAAS for entering F1.

    Good to see the car is on time! Can't say it's surprising to see a pretty basic looking car - it's their first. This whole season is a giant test session for them, so will be interesting to see how they get on. Worrying to see so little in the way of sponsorship on the car - that needs to change fast if they are to survive.

    My understanding has been that Haas always was going to sponsor it himself.

    He's on record as saying he's doing it to promote & gain exposure for his company into 'wider markets' where he's not so well known.

    A little 'hospitality' in Malaysia, sell another machine there. ;)

    I'm glad he choose F1. I think it's cool that he did. But it might've been cheaper just to give away free CNC machines.

    So..... we are "fat shaming" cars now? Maybe the 2016 cars are anorexic. did you ever think of that? :)

    Looks nice to me. Can't wait for their web shop to come online so I can buy some gear.

    I guess I'll be the dissenter... It looks waaaayyy too NASCAR-ish to me. To me it just doesn't have an F1 look. It's too... Something... I don't know.

    I do agree that it looks chubby. Maybe they'll update some things during the season.

    Lame name "VF" Very First.

    It's the Dallara look. Look at the first HRT car.

    One of the nicer looking cars released.

    That flag just doesn't look right on it though.

    :D

    As already noted, they're all pretty much 'cookie cutter' these days.

    The rules, and aero demands, unfortunately, pretty much force them to be thus. :(

    You could substitute the Merc or McSplutter too.

    Paint 'em white (or black ;)) & we'd be completely ****ed.....

    Cheers,

    It looks like the Ferrari of 2015, not the new one.

    Quite evolved looking for a new team. Looks like a Ferrari B team car if you compare the two.
