P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Haas F1 boss Ayao Komatsu has claimed that the team “weren’t working together” under the leadership of his predecessor Guenter Steiner.
Steiner left Haas before the season started, with Komatsu taking over as Trackside Engineering Director. Under Komatsu’s leadership, Haas has excelled, earning 46 points this season and currently standing seventh in the Constructors’ Championship, just three points behind Alpine. This is a significant improvement from last season when Haas finished last with only 12 points. Komatsu never imagined becoming a team principal but found the opportunity too enticing to reject. Haas is now in a tight race for sixth place in the Constructors’ standings, with prize money making a crucial difference for the team’s smaller budget. Komatsu’s focus has been on fostering teamwork and unity among the staff, aiming to bring out the best in Haas’ talented individuals to achieve better results on the track.
