The Haas VF-19 is the Formula 1 - racing car of Haas for Formula 1 World Cup 2019 . It is the team's fourth Formula 1 car. First pictures of the car were shown in London on February 7, 2019 , and the vehicle itself was presented to the public at the start of the pre-season tests on February 18, 2019 at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya .
The name of the car is a reference to the VF-1, the first CNC machine that Haas Automation produced. Although the V stands for vertical , the name of the machine was used in-house as an abbreviation for Very First One (German: Allererste ).
Technology and development
Like all Formula 1 vehicles of 2019, the VF-19 is a rear-wheel drive monoposto with a monocoque made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) . In addition to the monocoque, many other parts of the vehicle, including the body parts and the steering wheel, are made of CFRP. The brake discs are also made from a composite material reinforced with carbon fibers.
The VF-19 is the successor to the VF-18 . Since the technical regulations for the 2019 season remained largely stable, the vehicle is largely a further development of the previous model.
VF-19 is driven by a in the center of the vehicle -mounted 1.6 liter V-6 engine of Ferrari with a turbocharger and a 120 kW strong electric motor , so it is a hybrid electric vehicle . The car's sequential gearbox is supplied by Ferrari and has eight gears. The gear change is triggered by paddles on the steering wheel. In addition, Haas also uses Ferrari's rear suspension. The vehicle has only two pedals, an accelerator pedal (right) and a brake pedal (left). Just like many other functions, the clutch , which is only used when starting from a standstill, is operated via a lever on the steering wheel.
The total width of the vehicle is 2000 mm, the width between the front and rear axles 1600 mm, the height 950 mm. The front wing has a width of 2000 mm, the rear wing of 1050 mm and a height of 820 mm. The diffuser has a total height of 175 mm and a width of 1050 mm. The car is equipped with 305 mm wide front tires and 405 mm wide rear tires from the standard supplier Pirelli , which are mounted on 13-inch wheels.
Like all Formula 1 vehicles since 2011 , the VF-19 has a Drag Reduction System (DRS), which reduces the drag of the vehicle on the straights by flattening part of the rear wing if it is allowed to be used. The DRS is also activated with a switch on the steering wheel of the car.
The VF-19 is equipped with the Halo system , which provides additional protection for the driver's head.
Painting and sponsorship
The VF-19 is mainly painted in black. The team's title sponsor, Rich Energy , provides golden color accents, the design is based on the color scheme that was used by the Lotus team until the mid-1980s .
Other sponsors advertising on the vehicle are Haas Automation, the company of team owner Gene Haas , as well as Peak AntiFreeze , bestseller (with the Jack & Jones brand ), watch manufacturers Richard Mille and Pirelli.
driver
Haas will compete again in the 2019 season with drivers Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen .
