Ayo Komatsu on battling Sauber in the Constructors' Championship

      With five races remaining in the season Haas F1 sits ninth in the Constructors' Championship, 11 points behind Sauber. In Mexico City team principal Aio Komatsu was asked if there was a chance to claw back…

      Aio Komatsu: "I don't think it's worth linking the five remaining races with the 11-point gap. All the teams are very competitive. Jonathan and his guys are doing a great job. The experienced Nico Hülkenberg has impressed in recent races, and his teammate Gabriele Bortoleto is a quick and promising rookie. It's great for our sport that the teams are so strong.

      For us there's no point in calculating: 'Okay, five races, we need to score this many points here, that many there.' It's important to focus on the next session. If it's the first practice, get the maximum out of the car and the drivers, find the setup, prepare for the second.

      We need to move step by step, improving in every session, and then the result will come. It will come. Whether it will be good enough to claw back a position in the Constructors' Championship, we cannot control. So we're focused only on getting the maximum out of our drivers and our cars, working as a team. Whatever will be, will be."
