Ayao Komatsu has been the new team boss of US constructor Haas in Formula 1 since the departure of Guenther Steiner. Former Formula 1 driver Ralf Schumacher thought of someone else as team boss of Gene Haas' formation. According to him, Otmar Szafnauer would have been the perfect man for the job at the team of Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg.
