One Formula 1 team went under-the-ra🐼dar with a superb points haul at last weekend’s Chinese Grand Prix.

Both Haas dri🍷vers finished in th꧅e points at the Shanghai International Circuit to strike a blow to their midfield rivals.

It was perhaps a surprise result given 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Esteban Ocon and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Ollie Bearman wer꧟e the last two finishers a week earlier at the Australian Grand Prix.

But their team p❀rincipal has been hailed for his role in turning their fortunes around.

“Ayao Komatsu conducts himself so well,” Alex Jacques told the F1 Nation podcast.

“They turn up, from Bahrain pre-season tꦫesting, and they found a performance problem thatꦫ they didn’t know they’d have.

“There is no panic, no drama.

“Esteban Ocon said they didn’t do a lot of💦 sleepin𒁃g or eating. They did a lot of work.

“They solved the problem and got both cars into the points. That is a ringing endorsement of the leadership of that🧔 team after a pretty embarrassi🎀ng Race 1.”

Ollie Bearman F1 progress hailed

Ocon f🌺inished fifth in China, and Bearman was eighth.

“Str🍌ategy-wise they both opted for a one-stop,” Laura Winter an𝐆alysed.

“They had a decent start by Bearman on the hard tyre. Then he managed a mediಞum tyre for nearly 30 laps to bring it home.

“We saw how they were in testing - ꦫnot running a programme where we could see the extent of the car. We thought: ‘They have got to come out swinging i⛎n Australia’.

“But they were nowhere in Australia.

“It’s 🧔great in terms o𒅌f the midfield battle that another team has entered the Q3 chat and is knocking on the door for points.

“Let’s not forget that Racing Bulls committed way too soon to a two-stop then had a ♕front wing failure for Yuki Tsunoda. He had to be pitted for a third time.

“They didn’t get it right. They may have been up t🍰here if they got✅ it right.

“But Haas got it right. They m🐎ay hav🌊e turned a corner.”

The season-opening Australian Grand Prix tested every driver with its wet conﷺditions.

Isack Hadjar had a nightmare F1 debut by crashing out on the format🎶ion lap.

Al📖though Bearman had his iffy moments through the weekend,ꦯ bringing his car home now looks to be a respectable result.

“Albert Park is really quick 💙these days,” Jacques said.

“When you’ve barely had any starts in F1? To roll o🍰ut thꩵe pits and stick it into the gravel would have been all his nightmares coming at once.

“I loved his confiden🌌ce with the divebomb moves at Turn 14. I loved the confidence on the radio with ‘ciao’.

“He wasn’t blown off course. Thꦗe same applies for Isack Hadj♌ar. They are resilient - and they need to be.”

Winter added: “Ollie complﷺeting the Australian Grand Prix in torrid conditions, which saw Fernando Alonso and Carꦦlos Sainz crash out, was really important for his weekend.

“He smiled at me and said hello, it wasn’t the sign of a man who had a bad weeke𓂃nd.

“He got 𝓰useful data unde🌟r his belt and his team’s belt.

“He knows he can get the🦂 job done at tough tracks, in Jeddah and Baku. That’s what surprised me in Aꦛustralia with the mistakes he was making.”
