2025-01-21
New winds are blowing at Haas, where under the leadership of Ayao Komatsu, this season holds radical changes. As part of this, they are embarking on 2025 with a new driver pair, supported by Toyota Gazoo Racing, and a historic innovation in sports!
The latter means the first female engineer in Formula 1, which could come about due to position changes within the team. The young lady named Laura Müller will be Esteban Ocon's right hand. According to Komatsu, the duo is a winning combination!
“She is an incredibly determined character. And since Esteban is a similar figure, I think they really complement each other. Laura is at her best when she discovers a specific problem; she immediately dives in, digs deep, and comes up with several possible solutions. Some stop at the first measurable answer, but she is not like that. She has a fantastic work ethic, knowing that if she finds a solution to one problem, she also sees that she will need to answer another ten questions with it.
I am impressed by her dedication; I think they will be very successful together.” - praised the first lady on the pit wall, Ayao Komatsu.
