Ayo Komatsu: I just can't seem to put everything together.
Haas F1 drivers scored no points in Hungary. Oliver Berman retired, and Esteban Ocon finished 16th...
Esteban Ocon (16th): "A difficult day. I had a good start, but we need to work on making the car more manageable and faster over the distance.
Looking at the first part of the season, there are positives – we’ve scored a lot of points, but we lack stability. At Spa, we showed great results in the sprint, but we haven't been able to perform like that every weekend. We're working on it, I fully trust the team."
Oliver Berman (retirement): "I started tenth in the first stint but struggled to keep the car on the track due to excessive oversteer. In the second stint, the situation worsened; we noticed a significant loss of downforce, indicating damage. It soon became clear that I wouldn’t be able to finish the race.
It's frustrating because I drove a good qualifying and first lap, but from that point, I was looking back, not forward. We need to understand why this happened. In previous races, I felt comfortable, but not here."
Team Principal Ayo Komatsu: "Today, we didn't achieve what we could have. We withdrew Oliver from the race when he damaged the floor for the third time in the weekend in the fourth corner. We need to sort this out.
As for Esteban, we need to analyze our processes – we clearly called him into the pits too early for the chosen one-stop strategy.
We have a fast car and two drivers with good potential, but in the last three races, we haven't been able to put everything together. The summer break will allow us to analyze everything, draw conclusions, and make adjustments."
