Ayao Komatsu on his 'big changes' at Haas when Guenther Steiner left | Full interview

We're joined by Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu to get to know the man behind their huge climb up the grid in 2024. As well as hearing about the changes he's made to get the drivers and crew "singing from the same hymn sheet" we learn about his love of rock climbing, rugby and the English town of Loughborough. He also discussed the "mixed emotions" as Haas get ready to say goodbye to Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg but welcome the "very exciting" line-up of Esteban Ocon and Ollie Bearman at the end of the year.
