#7 Haas
I had to include Grosjean in this picture with the 2019 Haas car because it just brings up some memories of the Frenchman racing for another Black and Gold team. Apparently, Haas didn't get the message from Lotus to "change it a little so it doesn't look like you copied." The Black and Gold 'Rich Energy' powered Haas doesn't look bad by any means and with the 'HAAS' emblazoned on the side in Silver as opposed to Gold, it does give the car a unique edge.
However, overall this car just brings to mind memories of Lotus and to be perfectly honest, Lotus did it better in every way. I wish this team would embrace their place as the sole American entry in F1 right now and add few stars and stripes for emphasis, but for now, I guess we are settling for Lotus 2.0.
