P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Haas has an upgrade coming for the United States Grand Prix at Austin. But it won’t count for anything if it keeps squandering chances the way it has done in F1 in 2025
Haas is striving for an Austin upgrade to boost their standing in the Formula 1 standings, learning from their 2025 season that potential alone is not enough without proper execution. Currently in ninth place in the constructors’ championship, team boss Ayao Komatsu attributes their struggles not to car performance, driver capability, or pitwall decisions, but to repeated small errors preventing good results. Despite showing promise at races like the Belgian Grand Prix, where the team both succeeded and failed due to errors in qualifying and race strategy, Haas has been unable to capitalize on their strong package. Costly mistakes have plagued their performances, leading to missed opportunities for valuable points. Despite moments of potential, like Bearman’s impressive charge at Zandvoort and strong qualifying at Monza, small errors have consistently hindered Haas’s ability to convert opportunities into success in competitive midfield battles. In a season marred by missed chances due to avoidable errors, Haas is seeking to rectify their execution to maximize their performance on the track.
