Haas Team Principal Sets Low Expectations for 2024 Season

Ayao Komatsu, the new team principal, predicts a tough start to the season, but emphasizes teamwork and clear communication as key to future success.

Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu has set a goal for the team to finish P8 in the Constructor's Championship for the 2024 season, despite a disappointing 2023 campaign where they finished last.
Komatsu has admitted that the car they will bring to the 2024 F1 Bahrain GP will be 'at the bottom' of the grid, indicating a lack of time for further improvements.
Komatsu, who replaced Guenther Steiner as team principal, has stated that he will not be working alone and will take full support from everyone in the team to move forward.
Komatsu has praised his predecessor Steiner, stating that he learned a lot from him and that Steiner was not a 'bad person' but rather a 'heartless' one.
Komatsu's new role as team principal requires him to set clear goals for the team and communicate these effectively, with flexibility to change goals or methods as the situation demands.
