The Haas VF-22 is a Formula One racing car designed and constructed by the Haas F1 Team to compete in the 2022 Formula One World Championship. The VF-22 is Haas' seventh car entry into Formula One. It has been driven by Kevin Magnussen, Mick Schumacher, and Nikita Mazepin, the lattermost who was replaced by Magnussen before the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix. The car runs on power units supplied by Ferrari.
The VF-22 was the first Formula One car of 2022 to be revealed pre-season. Due to the major change to the Formula One regulations which affected the appearance of the cars, development on the VF-21 used in the 2021 season was cut short, and the team instead focused on the 2022 season.
This car is notable for being the first ever Haas Formula One car to take a pole position, in the hands of Magnussen, at the 2022 São Paulo Grand Prix at Interlagos. Haas had an overall improved season, moving up from 10th in the constructors championship to 8th and back to scoring points regularly.
