Haas mette in guardia dall'innalzamento del budget cap in F1 per risolvere i problemi delle power unit del 2027

Il team principal della Haas, Ayao Komatsu, ha esortato la Formula 1 a non aumentare il tetto alle spese nell'affrontare le criticità legate ai regolamenti sulle power unit del 2027. Ha sostenuto che qualsiasi aumento dei costi minerebbe lo scopo stesso dei limiti di spesa.

Komatsu ha evidenziato gli elevati costi già associati alle attuali regole sulle power unit. Ha affermato che spese aggiuntive da cinque a dieci milioni di dollari per team per le modifiche del 2027 rappresenterebbero un passo nella direzione sbagliata. Il team principal ha sottolineato la necessità di semplificare e ridurre i costi su tutta la linea, invece di consentire ulteriori aumenti del tetto, che quest'anno è già più alto.
