He's the head of UK operations for Haas.
He basically runs the factory, makes sure it all goes well.
And rather than me butcher his own words, we've got a clip from him here where he's talking about the effort that went into basically fashioning the space to crowbar a Toyota simulator into.
It's essential, but something that pretty much everybody in any other team, and probably a lot of people listening to this, would take for granted.
Because obviously F1 teams have simulators, but look at the effort that Haas is having to go to, the people at Haas are having to go to, to be able to have this...
it's state-of-the-art in terms of the tech involved, but bog-standard in an F1 context.
Having a simulator at your factory, and this will be primarily for car development work.
Eventually, I think it will play a part in race weekend preparation and setup and that sort of thing.
But it's a key development weapon now for validating and checking what you're getting in the virtual development tools, wind tunnel, CFD, etc.
So it's bringing...
Haas is basically bringing itself, sort of kicking and screaming up to minimum viable product, really, in a few areas, but...
When I saw the room for myself, and JP took us into the bit where the engineering bay will be, and he just pointed to the wall and just said, and there's the only room in the whole building, and it's in the darkest room that the factory will have, basically, because there was a small little...
pretty small uh window on the on the side and you know it was um it was a light-hearted comment but i thought it and the reason i mentioned it is because there is hardly any natural light inside but they've they've got um it's not just when you get into you know like the bowels of the factory that it gets goes it all goes a bit dark it you wander around into like main offices and stuff like that there isn't a huge amount of it so i agree with what you said before uh i really think gene has and
needs to recognise the asset that he's got and actually what these people are working with.
Because I walk around there and I think, not just like, how are you running an F1 team from here, but how are you running an F1 team that's just, regardless of the logistics and what they're responsible for,
is punching so much above its weight in terms of the teams that it's managing to beat weekend to weekend, season to season.
And everything we say about the factory is not meant to be said in a derogatory way about the team itself.
And it's not meant to be snide remarks or anything like that.
It's really just trying to contextualise the reality that Haas faces because just calling it F1's smallest team doesn't do justice to...
the creativity within with which it's having to work to achieve what it's achieved so far
