Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu is looking to the return of the traditional F1 weekend format at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix to properly access upgrades introduced in China and Miami.
Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu explained that the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix will be crucial for evaluating the recent upgrades on the Haas car. The team introduced updates in Shanghai and Miami, but couldn’t compare them directly in sprint races. Nico Hulkenberg scored points in China and Florida, but attention shifted to Kevin Magnussen’s defensive tactics. Komatsu looks forward to the standard format in Imola for a proper back-to-back test to gauge the car’s performance accurately. The team aims to confirm if their aggressive development approach is paying off, with progress being tracked closely to make timely adjustments if needed before mid-season.
