F1 Beyond The Grid
Ayao Komatsu: aiming high with Haas

You know, we know that's the direction to solve.

F1 Beyond The Grid
Ayao Komatsu: aiming high with Haas

We can keep going.

F1 Beyond The Grid
Ayao Komatsu: aiming high with Haas

But even if we get it wrong...

F1 Beyond The Grid
Ayao Komatsu: aiming high with Haas

At least we know that's not the direction to go.

F1 Beyond The Grid
Ayao Komatsu: aiming high with Haas

Whereas if we don't do anything, we're not going to learn anything.

F1 Beyond The Grid
Ayao Komatsu: aiming high with Haas

We're going to be in exactly the same position as here in Melbourne.

F1 Beyond The Grid
Ayao Komatsu: aiming high with Haas

So I said that's not an option.

F1 Beyond The Grid
Ayao Komatsu: aiming high with Haas

But then, of course, being a former engineer, I really wanted to ask questions about how about looking at this, how about looking at this area, how about this?

F1 Beyond The Grid
Ayao Komatsu: aiming high with Haas

But I really, really forced myself not to do any of that.

F1 Beyond The Grid
Ayao Komatsu: aiming high with Haas

After I set that clear, let's say, guideline, okay, this is the problem.

F1 Beyond The Grid
Ayao Komatsu: aiming high with Haas

Look through this.

F1 Beyond The Grid

Option not to do anything in Suzuka is not option.

F1 Beyond The Grid
Ayao Komatsu: aiming high with Haas

Then I take a risk, fine, to cut corners.

F1 Beyond The Grid
Ayao Komatsu: aiming high with Haas

So you guys just tell me one or two things you can do in Suzuka.

F1 Beyond The Grid
Ayao Komatsu: aiming high with Haas

I just left it at that.

F1 Beyond The Grid
Ayao Komatsu: aiming high with Haas

And that was very, very difficult.

F1 Beyond The Grid
Ayao Komatsu: aiming high with Haas

Very difficult.

F1 Beyond The Grid
Ayao Komatsu: aiming high with Haas

But I'm so glad afterwards that...

F1 Beyond The Grid
Ayao Komatsu: aiming high with Haas

I just shut up and didn't say anything after that.

F1 Beyond The Grid

And then our guys, Andrea Di Zolto, our technical director, head of aero, Davide Zei came to me and said, Ayao, we look through all this and we think this and this.
