Haas marked a milestone in F1 on Tuesday with the appointment of Laura Mueller as the first female career sports engineerwho will work with an experienced French pilot Esteban Ocon.
Race engineers are the immediate point of contact for F1 drivers, and some of them have become well-known personalities in the sport for their exchange on the radio broadcast around the world at key moments.
The German Mueller She is one of two women taking on new roles on the US team, as Carine Cridelich He will join on March 1 as head of strategy from Racing Bulls (formerly RB), which is owned by Red Bull.
The British debutante Oliver Bearman will have Ronan O’Hare as race engineer, as will Mueller, who will be promoted from within.
“His work ethic, determination and technical understanding are excellent, so we believe that He is the right person for EstebanKomatsu told reporters in a video call.
Both race engineers worked with their drivers on a test of the previous cars last week and the boss said they made a good start. Haas, who finished seventh overall last year, was also named Francesco Nenci as chief race engineer and Mark Lowe as sports director.
The former Ferrari engineer Andrea from Zordo is the technical director with Tom Coupland, on loan from Ferrari in 2021, as chief designer. ““The reason we changed personnel was because I felt we left too many points on the table last year.”Komatsu said.
New team
Ocon and Bearman formed a new pair after the departure of Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen. Bearman, 19, has raced three times, impressing on his Ferrari debut last season, when he finished seventh in Saudi Arabia in place of Spaniard Carlos Sainz, who was ill with appendicitis.
Komatsu said the team will look for continuous improvement, with drivers working together to push each other and increase overall performance.
