Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu has praised Kevin Magnussen for “unbelievable team play” in the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix despite having reason to be “pissed off” by a strategy call.
Komatsu admitted that the team had called Magnussen into the pits at the wrong time, losing the Dane two places in the process. Like in Saudi Arabia, Haas split the strategies of the two drivers, with Nico Hulkenberg running a long opening stint on the hard tyre before pitting for mediums under the VSC. With fresher tyres, Hulkenberg came up behind Magnussen who, despite his obvious frustration after the earlier pit call, duly moved over and let his team-mate use his pace.
I need to think about that pretty soon. “But at the moment, until we do the first four or five races, I'm just fully focused on working together as a team. And honestly, Kevin today, hats off to him. It's just unbelievable team play. Really amazing.” Komatsu explained that the team has reacted to Alex Albon stopping, when it should have kept Magnussen out. “Albon pitted,” he said. “He's already undercut us. So we shouldn't have then pitted on the following lap. But we did.
