One Formula♏ 1 team went under-the-radar with a superb points haul at last weekend’s Chi♈nese Grand Prix.

Both Haas drivers finished in the points at the Shanghai International Circuit to strike a blow to their m🤪idfield rivals.

It was perhaps a surprise result given 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Ollie Bearman were the last two finishers a wee♊k earlier at the Austral📖ian Grand Prix.

But their ꦚtea🦹m principal 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 testing, and theꦑy found a performance problem that they didn’t know they’d have.

“There is no panic, no drama.

“Esteban Ocon said they didn’t do a lot of sleeping or eating. Th💜ey did a lot of work.

“They solved the problem and got both cars into the poi𒈔nts. That is a ringing endorsement of the leadership of that team after a pretty embarrassing Race 1.”

Ollie Bearman F1 progress hailed

Oc🙈on finished fifth in China, and Bearman was e🔯ighth.

“Strategy-wise they both opted for a one-stop,” 💧Laura Winter analysed.

“They had a decent star🌌t ༒by Bearman on the hard tyre. Then he managed a medium tyre for nearly 30 laps to bring it home.

“We saw how they were in testing - not running a prog🏅ramme where w🍎e could see the extent of the car. We thought: ‘They have got to come out swinging in Australia’.

“But they were nowhere in Australia.

“It’s great in terms of 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 comm🐟itted 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 there if they got it right.

“But Haas got it right. Th🐈ey may have turned a corner.”

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

Isack Hadjar had a nightmare F1 d🐷ebut by crashing out on the formation lap.

Alt🅷hough Bearman had his iffy moments t🎃hrough the weekend, 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 out the pits and 𓄧stick it into the gravel would h🐬ave been all his nightmares coming at once.

“I loved his confidence with the divebomb moves 𝓀at Turn 14. I loved the confidence on the radio with ‘ciao’.

“He wasn’t blown off course. The same appli💧es for Isack Hadjar. They are resilient - and they need to be.”

Winter added: “Ollie compl✅eting the Australian Grand Prix in torrid conditions, which saw Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz crash out, was really impo🔯rtant for his weekend.

“He smiled at me and said hello, it wasn’𒉰t the sign of ✨a man who had a bad weekend.

“He got useful data u𓂃nder his belt and his team’s belt.

“H𝓀e knows he can get the job done at tough tracks, in Jeddah and Baku. That’s what surprised me in Australia with the mistakes he wꦛas making.”
