Ayao Komatsu, the current team principal of Haas, stated that team owner Gene Haas is increasing his investment in the team for the 2024 season, especially ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix. The former team principal, Guenther Steiner, left due to disagreements, including lack of investment in the team’s infrastructure. Although Steiner criticized the team’s lack of vision for the future, Komatsu is optimistic about Haas’ progress under his leadership and Gene Haas’ commitment to investing in the team responsibly and efficiently. Komatsu mentioned that Gene Haas has already approved the commissioning of a new motorhome for next year, a significant investment, and the recruitment of new personnel to improve the team’s performance and infrastructure. While car performance does not directly impact additional investments, Komatsu is focused on showing that Haas is using its budget wisely and gradually gaining Gene Haas’ trust back.
