To have one manufacturer in support is handy for a privateer team. But two? Now, that is something pretty special and a crucial platform on which to build for Haas.
Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu is excited about the rare partnership with Ferrari and Toyota, offering the privateer F1 team a chance to challenge the establishment. This partnership has put Haas in its strongest position in the past decade, with support from two manufacturing giants. The team has had ties with Ferrari since day one, receiving power units and components from them. Last year, Haas formed a technical alliance with Toyota, gaining access to their wind tunnel facility in Cologne. Komatsu believes in the potential of these partnerships and sees them as opportunities to excel rather than added pressure. He remains focused on improving the team and delivering results, regardless of the incoming threat from Cadillac or any new teams on the grid.
