In response to Russia invading Ukraine, the Haas F1 team will drop its Uralkali livery and branding for the final day of pre-season testing in Barcelona and run in a plain white color scheme.
The team’s Russian title partner is controlled by Dmitry Mazepin, who has ties to Russian leader Vladimir Putin, holding a meeting with him only last month. The team’s funding has come under intense scrutiny, and the sanctions may stop all Uralkali sponsor payments to the team.
Haas issued a statement on Thursday night that it will change the color scheme for the final day of testing at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
