Haas VF-21
Haas's 2021 car was a lightly modified VF-20, as the team saved its effort for the 2022 rules.
About the Haas VF-21
The VF-21 used modified VF-20 chassis rather than new ones, and as raced in Bahrain it was identical to its predecessor except for the downforce cuts required by the 2021 regulations. Haas brought a single chassis upgrade at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, too small to need development tokens, making it the only constructor not to make significant changes to its 2020 car. Rookies Nikita Mazepin and Mick Schumacher drove it all season, and a new chassis was built for Mazepin and introduced at the Belgian Grand Prix.
