Haas VF-22

[AeroDynamic]

This is the official Haas VF-22 car thread. The thread has been created to facilitate discussion specifically about the VF-22 car.

Please, ONLY discuss technical items of this car. Refrain from speculation.

General discussion about the team, its drivers and performance can be posted in the team thread.

Livery discussion also belongs in the 2022 Uralkali | Haas F1 Team thread.

We normally do not open the car threads until the first pic in "flesh and carbon fibre" appears. Too many things can and often do change from first render to tarmac.

So let's stick to the speculation thread until then?

Guenther Steiner confirmed the VF-22 rendering reflects an earlier development stage and doesn't feature the latest upgrades.

And we're good to go.

Looks fairly similar to the renders. The sidepod intakes are larger and sligtly sloped backwards, and there is a black panel where probably the louvres will be.

[the EDGE]

has a unique front wing end plate with the canard arcing downwards instead of upwards, and an indent in the middle where it ends

Been lurking since the 2017 season, thought it was about time to join the discussion

The diveplane seems to slope downwards

Leading edge of the front wing endplate looks 'pointed' for lack of a better description

Well, actually, sidepods are completely different from the render. Seems to be same philosophy to Ferrari's.

Hard to tell with the white color, but it looks like broader sidepods with some inward curvature - a bit of Ferrari light. But could be mistaken there.

The rear of the sidepods look somewhat different from the renders to me. There is a clear crease running all the way to the back of the cokebottle, as if the sidepod continues to the back, almost like the Aston. The renders seem to show it sloping back more aggressively.

Seems completely different to the launch one with sidepod concept and FW similar to ferrari. The endplate seems wavy though..

Seems all Ferrari powered cars have gone for the high inboard wing by the nose

[organic]

Overall philosophy looks fairly similar to Ferrari. Cool endplates and the livery looks way better on this developed shape

[AeroDynamic]

The side pods in the video looked a bit more Ferrari style to me?

front wing element arrangement looks like the Ferrari's as well
