An ending that was not digested by the team principal of the US team – also at home in Suzuka – Ayao Komatsu. “We have mixed feelings – admitted the Japanese manager – Why we missed the top-10 by 5 seconds with Nico. It's frustrating“.
Positives
Gunther Steiner's heir to the Haas command post, however, also analyzed the other side of the coin, that is, a Competitive Haas – by his standards – even on an 'old style' track like this. “The positive aspect is that our race pace today was much better than what we saw at the start of the weekend – concluded Komatsu – Therefore the changes made by the team after FP3 and before qualifying they worked well“.
