Ayo Komatsu: The weather will be the key factor.

      After a successful race in Mexico, Haas F1 would like to consolidate the result in São Paulo…

      Aio Komatsu, team principal: “Everyone in the team is motivated and focused on success. Sixth and ninth in the Constructors’ Championship are separated by only a few points, the fight is very tight. Four rounds remain in the championship, and we are focused on each one individually. In Brazil we face a round with a Saturday sprint, which means two opportunities to score points.

      The circuit is amazing, very technical, demanding — drivers love racing there. Last year Oliver learned he would be taking part in this race only five hours before getting into the car — and he did a great job, and Esteban finished on the podium in 2024 — we know he’s also very good at this circuit.

      The key factor will be the weather. You never know what to expect in São Paulo. Of course, we really want to put last year right, be at our best and achieve a good result.”

      Oliver Bearman: “I’m looking forward to returning to Brazil. Interlagos is a great circuit, the lap is very short but incredibly technical. Last year the race was tough for me, but I hope that this time we can build on the success we achieved in the recent rounds.”

      Esteban Ocon: “Brazil means a lot to me. I’ve always been supported there, I fondly remember the races in that country and last year’s podium.

      Interlagos is a classic, flowing old-school circuit where it’s always exciting to race. Brazilians are very passionate and knowledgeable fans. Over a weekend with a Saturday sprint we’ll try to make the most of every session to prepare well for both races and, hopefully, maintain the momentum we’ve built.”
