The Haas VF-20 is a Formula One racing car designed and constructed by Haas to compete during the 2020 Formula One World Championship.[1] The car will be driven by Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen, who will compete for the fourth consecutive year.[2][3] The car was planned to make its competitive début at the 2020 Australian Grand Prix, but this was delayed when the race was cancelled and the next three events in Bahrain, Vietnam and China were postponed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4][5] The VF-20 is now expected to make its début at the 2020 Austrian Grand Prix.

The pandemic also prompted the delay of technical regulations that had been planned for introduction in 2021. Under an agreement reached between teams and the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, 2020-specification cars—including the VF-20—will see their lifespan extended to compete in 2021.[6]
