The only Dane with a permanent Formula 1 seat can afford to hope for a car that will become more competitive in the 2024 season.
Haas has got a new team manager, and Ayao Komatsu is immediately a brutally honest one. In fact, the 48-year-old Japanese doesn't expect Haas to be anything other than bottom-stopper in the upcoming season.
Still, Haas' Danish choir, Kevin Magnussen, may have good reason to smile a little extra in 2024.
Reuters writes that.
– I think it's fantastic that Ayao (Komatsu, ed. ) is already trying to focus on some of the elephants in the room.

– As our development of the car over a season that just hasn't been good, the Dane said at a press conference on Friday.
Previously, the new Haas manager said that it would not surprise him if the team finished exactly as it did last season, i.e. as the tenth and last. However, the team manager is aiming for an 8th place.
– The reason our races are not going to be fast enough in Bahrain is not the quality of the people we have here. It's because we started late and then stopped for two months to do the Austin updates, Ayao Komatsu previously revealed.
