Haas will be celebrating a significant milestone at the Canadian Grand Prix, as the American outfit contests its 200th race.
The team joined the grid as the last new entity in 2016, making its debut at the Australian Grand Prix earlier that year.
Haas were off to a flying start with driver Romain Grosjean, who finished in sixth place at their first-ever race as F1 constructors.
Now, 200 races later, they are marking the occasion with a throwback livery that takes inspiration from the one they ran nearly 10 years ago at Melbourne.
Haas F1 fans react to ‘stunning’ throwback livery celebrating 200 races
The new livery features a blend of black and red, along with the grey that replaces the usual white.
Haas unveiled the new, one-off livery on their social media channels ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, with fans taking to the comments section to voice their opinions.
One fan wrote: “Haas woke up and decided to cook,” while another felt that the new livery should stay for the rest of the season: “Keep it for the rest of the year!! A stunner.”
Another fan also agreed that it was one of their favourite liveries: “Stunning”
The livery is closer to what they ran in 2016, with the red ‘Haas’ logo on the sidepods. One fan commented: “What a throwback!”
While off the back of a few on-off liveries this season, another commented: “Finally a team doing a livery right.”
Some fans were also appreciative of their milestone, including one who wrote: “Looks amazing. Congratulations to the team for reaching 200 Grand Prix.”
Haas’ key milestones since joining the F1 grid
Since joining the grid, the American team has achieved various milestones. On their debut, they became the first F1 constructor to score points in the first race since Toyota in 2002.
They also became the first all-American-led F1 squad in three decades, having been founded by Gene Haas, an American industrialist who also owns a championship-winning NASCAR team.
While it has not always been smooth sailing for Haas, notably in the tricky 2021 and 2022 seasons, they have stuck with it and been willing to improve.
After bouncing back to P7 in the Constructors’ Championship in 2024 with Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg, they are set to reach new heights in 2025 with Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman.
