https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/haas ... /10586487/Haas concedes Magnussen should have let Tsunoda pass in Saudi F1 GP
Haas Formula 1 team principal Ayao Komatsu accepts Kevin Magnussen should have let Yuki Tsunoda pass in Jeddah after overtaking him off the track, but he praised his defensive teamwork.
"I believe at that point in the race, if I remember the projection very well, we are fighting with Tsunoda for P10," Komatsu said.
"Of course, we should have given the place back, we should have tried to overtake him. I believe with our pace we could have done that.
"So, I think the end result we are still looking for P10. Whether we could have achieved it is another story."
Commenting on the incident, Magnussen said: "I overtook Tsunoda and went outside to track, so rules are rules.
"I'm not happy with myself to get those two penalties, but at least I was able to help the team to create a gap for Nico to pit and get a point.
"It's a tight battle between the five teams at the back. From P6 down to 10th it's a real championship, so every point matters."
Agree to a certain extend. Think both are not ideal candidates to be honest. If they don’t fill the seat with an experienced driver my preference would be Liam.djos wrote:Bit early to be making these sort of prognostications imo.arjen.teravest wrote: ↑11 Mar 2024, 23:23Ok, then let me ask another question: who deserves a potential seat at Red Bull and why? Yuki or Daniel? Or Liam maybe?djos wrote: You know he got shafted by a 40+ second pitstop and that the Williams cars were faster than us right? Albon even managed to overtake Yuki and then gap him.

But if you want to play, I’ll oblige, it won’t be Yuki, he doesn’t have the maturity or temperament.
Liam is a future star, no doubt about it.arjen.teravest wrote: ↑12 Mar 2024, 18:40Agree to a certain extend. Think both are not ideal candidates to be honest.

Normally when a non-factory team wont tell you what the issue is, it's PU and they dont want to annoy the Engine Supplier.runningmanz wrote: ↑13 Mar 2024, 05:39Anyone know anymore details of what they found with Dan's car after qualli which apparently he carried into the race?
Big or small no doubt both drivers were not happy with the car in the race. Dan mentioned they found some things to fix too. Hopefully a much better balanced car for Oz.
I don't get all the pitchforks for Dan after 2 races either. Bahrain was a tenth in qualli with unfortunately a big outcome and no chance to make up much from there in the race given how poor the car is.
While poor in qualli there was barely a point on offer too at Jeddah and that shocking pitstop did not help his chances to make any inroads.
Would be nice to hear from thecteam as definitely the bigger issue is how ordinary the car is currently.

The other possibility is a damaged floor and they didnt have spares on hand, enough time to change it or didnt want a penalty.
I think you have to show there is a fault with the engine had a fault. Or change parts on safety grounds ( I think) but are pretty regulated.One of the most notable changes is a rule on the engine, which the FIA hopes will improve reliability. Until recently, it was not permitted to make temporary repairs to the engine, but that is about to change. In some cases teams will be allowed to do so in the near future, possibly avoiding the need to change parts. Teams will also be allowed to replace the engine with a new specification between qualifying and the race. All this must be done within the parc fermé rules
Yeah would be interesting to hear more detail. Just hope the car is much better in Oz. Its been a frustrating start to the season.djos wrote: ↑13 Mar 2024, 05:52Normally when a non-factory team wont tell you what the issue is, it's PU and they dont want to annoy the Engine Supplier.runningmanz wrote: ↑13 Mar 2024, 05:39Anyone know anymore details of what they found with Dan's car after qualli which apparently he carried into the race?

Dude, you and the other guy are the ones denigrating Yuki. What do you expect?runningmanz wrote: ↑13 Mar 2024, 05:39Anyone know anymore details of what they found with Dan's car after qualli which apparently he carried into the race?

What a load of rubbish! We praise him when he does well, and we I critique him when he behaves badly and loses his temper!ispano6 wrote: ↑13 Mar 2024, 16:05Dude, you and the other guy are the ones denigrating Yuki.

Yeah this is rubbish, I've been more than fair to Yuki and praised him when he does well and give constructive criticism when he doesn't like at Bahrain at the end of the race.ispano6 wrote: ↑13 Mar 2024, 16:05Dude, you and the other guy are the ones denigrating Yuki.

Wonder if soon means 2 races like it was with Nyck de VriesMarko wrote in his column for Red Bull-owned publication Speed Week. “There’s a lot at stake this season for both Yuki and Daniel. Yuki’s qualifying performance was very good and Ricciardo has to come up with something soon.”
