Once the news of Guenther Steiner’s departure from Haas settled, Ayao Komatsu, the new team principal, began addressing the issues left behind. Komatsu’s task is to prove that the current Haas model can be successful or improve its current potential under his leadership. While there are bigger challenges for Haas to overcome, Komatsu believes that change can still have a positive impact within the team’s limitations. He acknowledges that he is not trying to replace Steiner and views himself as a different character with his own strengths and weaknesses. Komatsu’s F1 career started at BAR and he followed Romain Grosjean to Haas in 2016 before his recent promotion. Unfortunately, there was no transition period between Steiner and Komatsu, but Komatsu looks forward to taking on the team principal role and relying on his own managerial approach.
