Haas justifies picking Rafael Camara over Ryo Hirakawa for F1 Brazilian GP

Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu says his decision to hand Rafael Camara his Formula 1 debut at the Brazilian Grand Prix, instead of keeping Ryo Hirakawa in the car, was “purely based on professionalism”.

Using this specific term, Komatsu doesn’t mean that Hirakawa lacks professionalism – not even in the context of Esteban Ocon’s fall from grace – but simply that he looked into “the best interest” of the team.
