Ahead of its entry in the 2016 world championship, Haas Formula has changed its name to Haas F1 Team.
The announcement came courtesy of Twitter (where else) as the much-anticipated American outfit opened its social media campaign courtesy of Facebook and a website.
The name change comes courtesy of team founder Gene Haas in order to "better correlate his team with motor racing's prestigious series". However, Haas Formula will remain the legal entity as the North Carolina outfit becomes the first American-led F1 team since 1986.
