The Haas material arrived in Sakhir after the cargo problems that slowed its arrival in Bahrain: the cars and the boxes arrived at the racetrack during the night, seriously delayed compared to the deadlines that had been set.
The American team has begun to set up the pits, but the work plans will have to undergo changes because the preparation of the VF-22 cannot be completed before the first day of testing.

Haas, in fact, plans to field the car edited by Simone Resta tomorrow afternoon with Pietro Fittipaldi who will start to lap first. For the moment there are no other updates from the team led by Gunther Steiner.
It is very likely that today there will be meetings between the Haas top management and Ferrari to define the second guide to be joined by Mick Schumacher. The Brazilian Fittipaldi has the opportunity to start the season, but the driver destined to replace Nikita Mazepin should be Antonio Giovinazzi, third rider of the Cavallino, even if there is also the candidacy of Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen has also turned up.
Obviously Haas will try to get some concessions from Maranello after renouncing the sponsor Uralkali. During the day the situation should unravel, also because the one who will be appointed as the starting driver should have the right to run during the tests, to avoid having to make his debut in a GP without knowing anything about the VF-22 except the simulator …
