Rich Energy Haas F1 Livery Design Teased

[Paul Jeffrey]

Check out these teaser images of a proposed dramatic new livery change for the Haas F1 team next season.

Having reportedly stolen the Rich Energy drinks brand sponsorship from under the noses of the Williams Grand Prix team late into 2018, Haas F1 and Rich Energy have been busy on social media today showing off some livery concepts for the American teams 2019 Formula One car.

Marking a dramatic departure from the rather sedate colour scheme of Haas Automotive seen since the debut of the outfit at the start of 2016, the JPS inspired gold and black livery thought up by new title sponsor Rich Energy most certainly is something of an eye catching design - and marks a potential return of that famous colour scheme since the demise of the short lived Lotus revival at the end of 2014.

Maybe it´s just my brain playing up but I think they´ve stolen another concept without crediting the livery concept author.
Also, when I did a Google Search with the last picture it said it was Darth Vader

Awesome, ive thought haas has had the worst livery for several years now so im new colours would be great for them.

 

[farjam]

Their major weak links were Grosjean and the ugly livery , one of them solved now

 

[Paul Jeffrey]

I think it looks.... like it has a decent base but could do with some slight improvements still....

Good start, most certainly nothing like the potential it could have. Yet.

 

[Luke Cage]

Don't like it.

They should go Gold/Black, not Black/Gold... with some well placed White and Red accents, because it is a Haas after all.
That'll stand out far better than another dark car on the grid, imo.

Its not really the right way to go for Haas I mean I like the current livery they have already its good

 

[Diogo Goetz Brand]

The weird thing is that, judging by the flow conditioners, the black car looks to be a Mercedes.

Yup, let's give up a big sponsorship because our livery won't look as cool.
Said no one ever in F1, maybe apart from Ferrari.

Feels like sean bull's design with changed decals?

The colour scheme is nice.

Has anyone seen this Rich Energy drink in a shop?

Haas must have completed some due dilligence & Willam Storey must have some serious investors who plan some serious advertising & distrubution etc. when this sponsorship starts but how do they get a decent return in a crowded energy drink market?

William Storey looks like a normal businessman......Cant wait for the memes.

Only on Amazon tbh... never in an actual store.

Don't copy other people's format's and be creative. Do something for America in red White and blue and put the flag of America on it. But you can't be the all American team without interest in a American driver can you.

I also don't know what that brand is about, they already have a deal with West Ham United if I'm not mistaken (or another red and blue british club), and now F1, yet I've never seen a can of Rich Energy anywhere in my life.

It has potential, but this should just be a starting point for something better. Too much black on these photos. I hope they do a better job than Lotus in 2014. That car's black and gold livery was ruined by the red rear and front wings.

Ruined? Really?

If anything ruined that car, it was its nose.

Grosjean must be having deja vu.

A-lot of folks seem to think the current Haas livery is ugly. Well, at least it's distinctive. When the TV broadcast picks up a group of cars, you can clearly see the Haas. With the nearly all black, we are going back a couple of years when several teams chose black and nobody could identify the cars unless up close. I suspect we'll see Haas follow Mclaren at some point and release a distinctive VISIBLE livery. Black cars look NEATO-KEEN at a car show, with all sorts of lighting shining on them. But TV?

It's a little on the Lotus-y side. Haas really need to nail down a permanent color scheme. The Red/White/Black is okay but Red and white should be part of the scheme.
