罗伯·斯梅德利质疑哈斯成为F1领先车队的前景
前法拉利F1比赛工程师罗伯·斯梅德利认为,哈斯车队目前的商业模式和结构将阻碍其成为F1中的领先车队。哈斯自2016年加入F1以来严重依赖与法拉利的技术合作,这种方式虽具成本效益,但常导致赛季中期表现下滑。

前法拉利一级方程式比赛工程师 Rob Smedley 认为,哈斯的车队结构将使其无法成为锦标赛中的领先车队。
这支美国车队于2016年加入F1围场,在技术上高度依赖与法拉利的合作关系。虽然这种模式让哈斯(哈斯)以更具成本效益的方式进入锦标赛,但它常常导致车队在赛季中期性能下滑,因为哈斯难以在研发竞赛中跟上对手的步伐。
斯梅德利(Smedley)在《High Performance 比赛》播客的一期节目中,对哈斯2026赛季的征程做出了直率的期中评估。尽管人们对2024年1月接替京特·施泰纳(Guenther Steiner)的小松礼雄(Ayao Komatsu)的管理风格普遍表示尊重,但斯梅德利认为,车队的上限已被其商业模式所限制。
“以他们目前的架构,他们将永远没有可能,”斯梅德利表示,“他们将永远没有可能成为领跑者。”
与斯梅德利以及前阿尔派领队奥特马尔·萨夫纳尔(Otmar Szafnauer)共同主持《High Performance 比赛》播客的主持人杰克·汉弗莱(Jake Humphrey)补充道:“哈斯是F1围场里最让我感到沮丧的车队,因为他们总是以一辆快速的赛车起步,却似乎不发展这辆赛车。也许他们没有资源,或者没有能力去研发赛车。”
哈斯车队目前以21分位列车队积分榜第七,车手贝尔曼和奥康分别以18分和3分位居车手积分榜第13位和第17位。
在前两站比赛拿下17分之后,Bearman经历了三次大奖赛退赛,并在随后的九站比赛中仅得到1分。
"我也非常欣赏Ayao Komatsu的管理风格和方式,"Humphrey补充道。"我认为Ollie Bearman是一位出色的车手,我非常希望看到他们能排在积分榜更靠前的位置。不是特别针对哈斯,而是哈斯的这些人。我希望看到Komatsu执掌一支排名更靠前的车队,也希望看到Ollie Bearman为一支排名更靠前的车队效力。"

Rob Smedley casts doubt on Haas's chances of becoming F1 frontrunners
Rob Smedley believes Haas's current business model and structure will prevent the team from becoming a frontrunner in Formula 1

Former Ferrari Formula 1 race engineer Rob Smedley has argued that the structure of Haas will prevent it from becoming a frontrunning team in the championship.
The American outfit joined the F1 grid in 2016, relying heavily on a technical partnership with Ferrari. While the approach allowed Haas to enter the championship in a more cost-effective manner, it has often contributed to a mid-season drop-off in performance as it struggles to keep up in the development race.
Smedley offered a blunt mid-season assessment of Haas's 2026 campaign during an episode of the High Performance Racing podcast. Despite widespread respect for the management style of Ayao Komatsu, who took over from Guenther Steiner in January 2024, Smedley believes the team's ceiling is capped by its business model.
"They will never have the possibility with their current construct," Smedley stated. "They will never have the possibility of being frontrunners."
Broadcaster Jake Humphrey, who co-hosts the High Performance Racing podcast with Smedley and former Alpine team principal Otmar Szafnauer, added: "Haas is the team I find the most frustrating on the Formula 1 grid, in the way that they always seem to start with a fast car and don't seem to develop the car. Maybe they don't have the resources or the ability to develop the car."
Haas currently sits seventh in the constructors' championship with 21 points, and drivers Oliver Bearman and Esteban Ocon are 13th and 17th in the drivers' championship with 18 and three points, respectively.
After picking up 17 points in the first two rounds, Bearman suffered three grand prix retirements and scored only one point in the following nine rounds.
"I also absolutely adore Ayao Komatsu's management style and approach," Humphrey added. "I think Ollie Bearman is an exceptional driver and I would just love to see them further up the grid. Not Haas particularly, the people at Haas. I'd like to see Komatsu in charge of a team further up the grid and I'd like to see Ollie Bearman driving for a team further up the grid."
