Has Boss is a “amazing response” to secure double digits in China

Ayo Komatsu, the boss of Haas Formula 1, has received a “amazing response” from his team to get a double top -10 Chinese Grand Prix to recover from a devastating Australian weekend.

Estaban Okon Finished seventh in China, while Oliver bearman Take the maximum advantage of an alternative tire strategy for From 17th to 10th position on the grid,

This was contrary to Has’s Australian conflicts, where the team appeared the slowest car and its racers finished only 13th and 14th, when many drivers crashed before them.

“This was a wonderful response to the entire team,” Komatsu explained the F1 TV of the response.

“Australia was a shock for us, not something that we were expecting on the basis of Bahrain test – but, man, what reaction.

“Everyone – people in Italy, UK, US, and Trackside, are working together within several days … Honestly, I am working in the way we have been working since that shock.

“Everyone has a failure, right? But failure should not define you. What do you define how you get up from that failure – and I think we have shown as a whole team.”

in Australia, Haas discovered a fundamental aerial defect In VF -25, which did not reveal themselves in the Bahrain test due to the characteristics of the circuit, where slow and medium -matched corners already occur. The high-load corners of Albert Park provoked and instigated the team to compromise their set-up.

The Shanghai Circuit track architect is in the form of Bahrain from the same era of the thinking of Harman Tilke: most corners are slow or moderately, in which camera changes try to provoke mistakes. In the mid -2000s, when it

He participated in the end of Lap 26 and fed back to the 17th position, and had to balance them to take advantage of the better theoretical performance of mediums and with making them the last one and 30 laps.

“I was not expecting a stop when we went to mediums,” the beerman told Sky Sports F1, “I was quite surprised.”

But Komatsu has warned that this rebound is likely to be circuit-specific, as the aerodynamic issues of the car have not been resolved yet. If they are ‘ripe’ for the characteristics of VF-25, the team’s season is likely to be defined to secure the maximum profit on the car flattering tracks.

“I am not joking to tell myself that we have solved the problem – we have not done,” Komatsu said.

“So some circuits we go, we still have a big problem – but, when we can operate the car the way we want, thanks to the circuit characteristics, this is what we can do. We distributed today.”

Bayerman said: “This is the type of track that is good for our car on paper. It is very smooth, not many bumps, and that is what we are looking at this time. We will smooth all other people if we can …”
