Ollie Bearman affirme que Haas court après le temps perdu avec les évolutions au Canada

Ollie Bearman s'est qualifié 16e pour le Grand Prix du Canada après que Haas a peiné à adapter ses nouveaux pontons et son nouveau fond plat au circuit bosselé de Montréal. Les évolutions visaient à augmenter l'appui aérodynamique mais ont rendu la VF-26 difficile à piloter. Bearman a pris le départ du sprint depuis la voie des stands à la suite de changements de réglages.

Bearman a décrit le week-end comme une recherche constante d'équilibre. Il a déclaré que l'équipe tournait en rond et que les qualifications ont été la première séance où il a pu pousser la voiture à la limite sans problèmes majeurs tels que des blocages de roues avant. Le Britannique a noté que le nouveau package offrait un potentiel de performance mais créait des caractéristiques difficiles à gérer sur les bosses et les vibreurs du circuit.
