Haas VF-19
Haas's black-and-gold 2019 car, quick over a single lap but baffling to its own team in races.
About the Haas VF-19
Dallara again designed the VF-19 for the Haas F1 Team, which bought many components from Ferrari and built only the monocoque, crash structures and bodywork itself. It was the quickest of the midfield in pre-season testing, and Kevin Magnussen finished sixth in the opening race in Australia. The car then struggled to bring Pirelli's new tyres into their operating window, so it often qualified well but faded in races, as when Magnussen qualified fifth in Austria and finished 19th. Haas even ran its cars to different specifications to find the problem, an experiment undermined at the British Grand Prix when Magnussen and Romain Grosjean collided early in the race.
