About the Haas VF-17
The VF-17 was Haas's second Formula One car, designed by the team and built by Italian chassis specialist Dallara for 2017. It used Ferrari's 062 power unit with a Ferrari eight-speed sequential gearbox, and carbon brakes with six-piston calipers. Romain Grosjean was joined by Kevin Magnussen, who replaced Esteban Gutiérrez for the new season. The car raced all 20 rounds without a podium, but it gave Haas the first double points finish in its history at the Monaco Grand Prix.
