New winds are blowing at Haas, where under the leadership of Ayao Komatsu this season brings major changes. As part of this, they will embark on a new driver pairing, with the support of Toyota Gazoo Racing and with historic sporting innovations until 2025!
The latter is understood to be the first female engineer in Formula 1, which could have been created thanks to the exchange of positions within the team. A young lady named Laura Müller will become Esteban Ocon's right-hand man. Komatsu claims that this pair is a winner!
“She’s an extremely determined person. And because Esteban is also a similar character, I think they’re a real match. Laura’s best feature is that when she sees a problem, she immediately dives in, digs deeper, and comes up with multiple possible solutions. Some people stop at the first rated answer, but she’s not like that. She has a fantastic work ethic and knows that if she finds a solution to one problem, she can also see that she’ll have to answer the next ten questions in the same way.
Her dedication amazes me, I think they will be very successful together.” - Ayao Komatsu praised the first lady on the pitwall.
