The car was planned to make its competitive debut at the 2020 Australian Grand Prix, but this was delayed when the race was cancelled and the next three events in Bahrain, Vietnam and China were postponed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

These problems were especially apparent at the Spanish Grand Prix, with the car being two seconds slower during the race on Sunday than it was during the first practice session two days earlier.

The remains of the Haas VF-20 driven by Romain Grosjean in the Bahrain Grand Prix is currently on exhibition in a new museum dedicated to Formula One in Madrid.
