P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Esteban Ocon has admitted Haas’ F1 tie-up with Toyota has “reinforced” his credence that he has made the right decision to head to the team.
Last month, Haas announced a technical alliance with Toyota, granting access to the Japanese company’s wind tunnel resources in Cologne. Haas has been enjoying a successful season, currently holding seventh place in the standings with 46 points, their best performance since 2018. Future prospects for Haas include Oliver Bearman and Ocon, who will join the team in 2025 under revised driver line-ups. Ocon expressed surprise about the Toyota deal, but now sees it as a vital asset in realizing Haas’ potential growth. While Kevin Magnussen acknowledges Toyota’s long-term impact, he anticipates immediate gains will not affect their current battle for sixth place. Magnussen believes Toyota’s support will propel Haas to greater success in future seasons, building on the team’s impressive achievements to date.
