Bahrain no guarantee Haas F1 tyre issue is fully solved, admits Komatsu
The 2023 season was tough for the American team Haas in Formula 1, with Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen struggling to convert their qualifying speed into race results due to tire issues. Despite finishing last in the championship and a change in team principal, the team was cautious about their performance in 2024. However, Haas surprised many with a more competitive showing at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, albeit with room for improvement in race pace. The team’s new principal, Ayao Komatsu, acknowledges progress but emphasizes the need to work on maintaining performance on different circuits and under various conditions. The challenging nature of Bahrain’s track and lingering uncertainties due to temperature variations pose ongoing challenges for Haas in their quest for competitiveness. Despite a promising start, Haas remains focused on consistent improvement and adapting to different racing conditions as the season progresses.
