Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu spoke exclusively to RacingNews365!
Ayao Komatsu has revealed the reasons behind the poor performances of the Haas F1 team, attributing them to a series of “excuses” under Guenther Steiner’s leadership. The team struggled with tyre wear in the 2023 season, despite efforts to address the issue with upgrades. Komatsu, who took over from Steiner in 2024, cited a lack of accountability and failed resolution of underlying issues as key factors in the team’s decline. The owner, Gene Haas, expressed frustration at the team’s lack of results and emphasized the need for long-term commitment to improve performance. Despite talks of a potential sale, Komatsu remains optimistic about the team’s potential if they can create a conducive working environment and foster a more cohesive teamwork approach.
