F1 EXPLAINS: Ask the Formula 1 team with Haas' Ollie Bearman, Esteban Ocon and more

The 2025 season marks Haas' 10th campaign in Formula 1, during which time it has established itself firmly on the grid and become a staple of the championship.

The American team has faced many ups and downs during a decade in the sport, a high point coming just last month as Ollie Bearman matched the team's best result with fourth in the Mexico City Grand Prix.

The Briton was the latest guest on the F1 Explains podcast ahead of the United States Grand Prix, where he was joined by team mate Esteban Ocon, Team Principal Ayao Komatsu, Race Engineer Laura Mueller and F1 ACADEMY driver Courtney Crone.

The five members of the Haas team sat down with presenter Christian Hewgill to answer a plethora of questions, with Komatsu taking questions about the parts Haas buys from Ferrari, and what he thinks about Cadillac's entry into F1 in 2026.

Mueller, meanwhile, explains how F1 teams fix car problems during a Grand Prix, and Crone reveals how working with Haas is helping her racing career, as Ocon and Bearman talk car set-ups and simulators, all while eating their pre-race lunch.
