PARIS (France): US Formula 1 outfit Haas, with an all-rookie lineup of Nikita Mazepin and Mick Schumacher unveiled their race car for the upcoming season on Thursday.
The unveiling came as Haas announced that Russian company Uralkali, one of the world’s largest potash fertilizer producers and exporters, will become the title partner of the F1 team in a multi-year agreement starting this season.
Billionaire Dmitry Mazepin, father of 22-year-old Nikita, is a non-executive director of Uralkali.
The VF-21 race car will make its physical debut on March 12, the first day of pre-season testing hosted at the Bahrain International Circuit.
“It’s definitely a case of all change but I’m hoping that we get back to being in the mix for scoring some points at these races,” said Gene Haas, chairman of Uralkali Haas F1 Team.
