The thing that struck me was the lack of sponsorship logos. How can they afford to go racing without sponsorships? My opinion of the look of the car is that it's nice and clean and the halo isn't offensive. It will be more so with a helmet inside of it. I hope they do well. I like Romain G- not Magnussen so much- but I do like Romain- now that he's not smashing into someone at every race. I'm looking forward to the start of the season- and I keep hoping that someone- anyone-challenges Mercedes and Lewis. I'm tired of that dominance and it takes something away from watching- when it's inevitable who will win.

Unless Haas, specified a short lens from too far a distance this person must have thought he was shooting landscapes. There is just no detail in the photos. I think it is the overly dark background.

1. They're not 'photos'.
2. They don't want you to see details.

Thanks Mofo. "Photos" that probably dates me, eh? You are correct they are not photos.
They certainly were successful at not showing details, just frustrating because you expected they wanted to show something and did not.

For me, F1 cars just get worse and worse looking as the years progress! The halo looks dreadful! Don't get me wrong, safety is paramount but it's not as if we were getting deaths every season from head injuries was it?

Yes. If only we could return to the glory days of the March 721, Eifelland Colani, Ensign N179 and ATS HS1. Because those were some gorgeous cars.

hey now - the March 711 was gorgeous - work of art in Ronnie's hands....

The team is doing this to sell more Haas machines. Much like Red Bull, they don’t need sponsors because of the money the advertising with the team brings in.
