Haas hopes that the new products will allow for an increase.

      The Haas team has struggled to earn points over the past six races of the season, but in Monza, they plan to introduce a whole range of technical updates and hope that they will significantly improve performance.

      Ayo Komatsu, team principal: "The Italian Grand Prix is always a special event for us, as the team's engineering department is based in Maranello. We take this opportunity to invite many of our colleagues to Monza so they can see the cars they work on every day in action and enjoy the unique atmosphere of a race weekend.

      We are heading to Italy, trying to leave behind the disappointing weekend in Zandvoort. Of course, there were positive moments for the team there, but our main task remains to improve the efficiency of the VF-26.

      In the upcoming weekend, we will present another set of technical updates, so it will again be critically important to make the most productive use of practice time, thoroughly analyze the collected data, and strive to compete with other mid-field teams.

      In the second half of the season, races will come thick and fast, which is great on one hand, but on the other hand, it certainly creates additional challenges. However, last year we proved that we can improve closer to the end of the championship – that is where all our focus is right now."

      Oliver Berman: "When you don't make it to the finish, you naturally want to get back behind the wheel and return to work, but this weekend I am also excited that we will bring a number of updates to Monza – let's hope they will significantly enhance the car's performance.

      The European stage of the season has been challenging for us, so we hope that in the remaining part of the championship we will have more reasons for optimism.

      The Monza circuit is called the 'Temple of Speed,' and it is one of my favorite tracks. When you attack in corners like Parabolica and Ascari, you feel that everything there literally breathes the history of motorsport. And off the track, the Italian fans create a unique atmosphere, and since I am associated with the Ferrari Racing Academy, in a way, the love of the tifosi is directed towards me, and in that sense, I am lucky."

      Esteban Ocon: "The whole team has been enthusiastically preparing for the upcoming race for some time now, and there are several reasons for that. Firstly, our engineering department is in Italy, and now we have a great opportunity to meet with colleagues, who will be able to see the results of their work on the track.

      Secondly, we are bringing quite a few updates to Monza, aimed at helping us get back into the fight with other mid-field teams. In Budapest and Zandvoort, at least I felt comfortable behind the wheel, and we really tried to get the most out of the car. So I would like this trend to continue, so that we can work effectively with the updates from day one and then fight for points."
