Haas conducts first on-track day with 2018 car

The Haas VF-18 has hit the track for the first time at Spain's Circuit de Catalunya.

Haas has used one of its two 100km days allocated to each team under the regulations to complete the first laps with its new car. Ahead of its third season in F1 the American team has been set a target by owner Gene Haas of cutting its performance gap to engine suppliers Ferrari to just 0.5s.

With Romain Grosjean at the wheel, the car rolled out in the morning. Haas has documented the day on its social media channels.
