The journey that has taken Ayao Komatsu from a teenager in Tokyo,
dreaming of working in Formula 1, to the new Haas Team Principal
is a gripping tale.

Featuring fascinating anecdotes of his father’s experiences as a
political prisoner, the challenges Ayao faced when he left Japan
for England, and how he engineered his way through university to
a career in F1, this is a compelling conversation between Komatsu
and Tom Clarkson.

Ayao talks about his relationship with his family, the influence
Japanese F1 hero Takuma Sato has had on his career, why he once
wanted to be a journalist, how he’s transforming Haas, and much
more.
