The Haas VF-23 is a race car built by Haas F1 Team that competed in the 2023 Formula One World Championship. In December 2022, the car became the first of the 2023 models to pass FIA homologation.[1] The VF-23 was driven by Kevin Magnussen for his second consecutive year with the team, having also raced for them from 2017 to 2020 and Nico Hülkenberg, who returned to Formula One in 2023 after 3 years without a full-time race contract.[2]
