Haas VF-18
Haas's 2018 car set a new points high for the team and drew questions over its likeness to Ferrari's 2017 racer.
About the Haas VF-18
Dallara designed the VF-18 for the Haas F1 Team's 2018 season, aiming for a more stable chassis than the VF-17 and cutting weight so the team had more freedom in placing ballast. Its pace in testing and in Australia prompted questions about its similarity to the Ferrari SF70H, which team principal Guenther Steiner rebuffed by saying Haas had bought only FIA-approved parts from Ferrari. Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen scored 93 points, the most Haas had managed with any car at the time. Their best combined finish came at the Austrian Grand Prix, where they took fourth and fifth in the team's 50th Grand Prix.
