The Haas VF-20 is the Formula 1 - racing cars of Haas for the Formula 1 World Championship 2020 . It is the team's fifth Formula 1 car. First pictures of the car were published on February 6, 2020, the actual vehicle was presented on February 19, 2020 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 2020, the VF-20 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-20 is the successor to the VF-19 . Since the technical regulations for the 2020 season remained largely stable, the vehicle is largely a further development.
VF-20 is powered by a 1.6-liter V-6 engine by Ferrari in the middle of the vehicle with turbocharger and a 120 kW strong electric motor ; so it is a hybrid electric vehicle . The car's sequential gearbox has eight gears. The gear change is triggered by paddles on the steering wheel. 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 needed 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 is 175 mm high and 1050 mm wide. 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-20 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-20 is equipped with the Halo system , which provides additional protection for the driver's head.

It advertise bestseller (with the brand Jack & Jones ), Haas Automation - the company of team owner Gene Haas - Peak Antifreeze , Pirelli, the watchmaker Richard Mille and the wind tunnel operator Windshear on the vehicle.
