The Haas team will be driving a very special version of the VF-25 in Suzuka this weekend. The car will wear a livery inspired by the traditional Japanese cherry blossoms.
The American team announced on Monday morning via social media that it will appear on track in Japan with a bespoke livery inspired by the Japanese cherry blossoms, a beautiful tree with bright pink petals that is in full bloom this time of year.
The livery features small blossom petals depicted everywhere. Japanese characters are also present on the car, and a different font has been chosen, once again beautifully fitting with Japanese culture.

Haas is not the only team racing special colours for the Japanese Grand Prix. Red Bull Racing will also be sporting a different livery at the Suzuka circuit, as reported by GPblog.
The Austrians will don a white livery with red accents on the RB21 at the Japanese Grand Prix to honour engine suppliers Honda. The change of design from the usual blue, red, and yellow livery also pays homage to the Japanese flag.
Dutch driver Max Verstappen will be joined by Yuki Tsunoda, who is making his debut for Red Bull at his home Grand Prix, after Liam Lawson was demoted to the sister team, Racing Bulls. Verstappen will also don a matching white helmet with red accents for the race. Read more
