In pictures: Haas launches new F1 challenger

Haas has launched its new car ahead of the upcoming F1 season, becoming the first team to offer a glimpse at the new machinery.

The American-owned team finished at the bottom of the Constructors' standings last term and will be hoping the new VF-24 will be able to help turn the fortunes around after a winter of change.

Guenther Steiner has been replaced as Team Principal by Ayao Komatsu, though the driver pairing of Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg offer stability.
