American Formula 1 team Haas has revealed its new race livery in the upcoming 2019 season featuring the branding of title sponsor Rich Energy.
The car was presented at the Royal Automobile Club in London and even though its not the definitive chassis, the car does feature the 2019-style aerodynamics, especially the front wing.
“We’re absolutely over the moon to be in Formula 1,” said Rich Energy CEO William Storey. “It’s a perfect platform for our brand.”
“We’re looking forward to taking Red Bull on, on and off the track, and challenging them. We’ve got a perfect partner in Haas who I believe are the best-run team on the grid and we’ve got an awful lot in common as organisations.”
Haas announced last October it had secured backing from the British energy drink brand. It is believed to have beaten competition from at least two rival teams who were linked to Rich Energy.
The American-owned, British-based squad is heading into its fourth full season in Formula 1. It has worked its way up the constructors’ championship standings during its first three seasons, rising to fifth last season.
The team has retained its driver line-up of Kevin Magnussen and Romain Grosjean for a third consecutive time.
