MoneyGram Haas F1 Team has appointed Ayao Komatsu as its new Team Principal with Guenther Steiner departing the organization with immediate effect, having led its operations for the past decade.
Komatsu, promoted from his role as Director of Engineering, has been with the team since its debut season in 2016 – starting as Chief Race Engineer.
Weird timing, being close to the new season. Not sure if it’s been planned for a while but if not, can’t see the new team principal changing anything in time for at least the first half of the year.
