Haas boss on Ollie Bearman wage demand stories: “I don’t know who smoked up €6m”

Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu has dismissed recent media speculation regarding Ollie Bearman's contract negotiations as entirely fabricated. Reports suggesting the young driver is demanding a salary of six million euros have been labeled as baseless nonsense by the team leader, who emphasized that both sides remain committed to a continued partnership.

While the official confirmation of Bearman's future remains pending, Komatsu maintained that the delay is not linked to financial disputes. The team boss expressed frustration over the spread of unverified rumors, noting that such claims lack any factual foundation.
