Haas will make their “rules of engagement” clear to drivers 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 before the 2025 F1 season begins.

The American outfit have a completely refreshed driver line-up for the upcoming campaign following168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Nico Hulkenberg’s departure to Sauber and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Kevin Magnussen’s exit from F1.

Ocon has made the switch from midfield rivals Alpine and F1 rookie while Ferrꦦari junior Bearman has earned a full-time seat to complete Haas’s 𓆏new-look driver line-up for 2025.

Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu is set to make the ground rules clear before the season gets underway in a bit t꧑o minimise the risk of on-track drama between teammates.

It is an exciting line-up but one that has potential for fireworks given Ocon has history of getting his elbows out against his teammates and Bearman ꦡwill be keen to impress in his first F1 season.

“The rules of engagement have to be totally clear from day one,” Ko💦matsu explained.

“So that will be clarified before💛 the first race. I don't expect any team-mate contacts, DNFs, because of that.

“You have to race hard. Look at last year – Kevin is a ꦍhard racer and then Kevin and Nico, the closest we came to an issue, which didn't become an issue, was Austria, right?

“But that's partly becau༺se we operated in a not perfect manner in terms of pitstop timing. We didn't help ourselves.

“So, as a team, we shouldn't be creating those messes. But, also, with the understandin😼g of each other as team-mates, the ruꩲles of engagement would be perfectly clear.”

Haas have had to manage teammate tension in the past, with Magnussen🎃 and Romain Grosjean clashing during their spell together. In 2021, there was also trouble between Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin.

But Komatsu is confident Haas can avoid conflict with Ocon and Be𒆙arman.

“I don't think ๊Nikita and Mick is any example to go by. If you have to go back to that combination, basically I'm in trouble,” he said.

“If you look at how we operated last year, how we can improve the team, what we did good last year, what we coul🌊d have improved last year, and then take that learning for this year, it’s a completely different era in terms of dynamics and drivers.

“Honestly, with Esteban and Ollie, they are two ve🧔ry, very good drivers. They have both got a lot more to prove. I think we have got a very good combination and I'm really looking forward to it.”
