Haas Formula 1 boss Ayao Komatsu contends that the team “cannot keep making mistakes” despite landing a vital double points
Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen finished ninth and 10th in Melbourne, adding three more points to Hulkenberg’s one from Saudi Arabia. Haas used split strategies, with Hulkenberg on Hard compound and Magnussen on Medium. Hulkenberg took advantage of a Virtual Safety Car for a successful pit stop, followed by Magnussen allowing him through after a teammate tussle. Despite some frustration over strategic choices, both drivers performed well, with Haas’ pit stops praised. The team dropped a spot in the Constructors’ Championship but showed potential for closer fights in the midfield with improved tactics. Komatsu remained cautious about discussing future line-ups, focusing on maintaining the team’s current momentum.
