Guenther Steiner, who has been the team principal of Haas since its inception in 2014, has been replaced by Ayao Komatsu. Steiner oversaw the team’s debut season in 2016, where they had a strong start but finished eighth in the constructors’ championship. After a successful 2018 season with a fifth-place finish, the team struggled in 2021 and finished eighth again in 2022. Due to the team’s poor performance last season, team owner Gene Haas decided to bring in Komatsu, who has been with the team since 2016 as trackside engineering director. Komatsu is determined to lead the team to improved on-track performances and maximize their potential in Formula 1.
