Haas and McLaren have become the latest teams to shake down their new 2022 challengers, as they took to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya to give their VF-22 and MCL36 cars their first ever laps.
Haas opted to use a filming day to run their car for the first time in Spain, with Nikita Mazepin the first to get behind the wheel of the VF-22, which was launched in digital render form on February 4.
