Haas break cover to complete filming day in Bahrain

Haas has broken cover with the VF21 ahead of its official launch to complete a filming day at the Bahrain International Circuit.

In a brief video posted on the team's official social media channels, Nikita Mazepin can be seen pulling out of the garage to take to the track in the VF21 for the first time.

The team will complete a distance not exceeding 100km across the day with Ferrari also scheduled to take to the track for a filming exercise of its own.

Pre-season testing will commence on Friday morning at 10:00 local time - 07:00 GMT - with Mick Schumacher driving first for Haas before Mazepin takes the wheel in the afternoon session.

The two will both drive on each of the three days with Haas officially launching the VF21 on Friday morning ahead of the first session.

Due to travel restrictions, Haas had been unable to fire up its new Ferrari power unit prior to the team's arrival in Bahrain. On Wednesday, this landmark stage in the development of any car was reached - something that visibly pleased Schumacher and members of team personnel.
