Formula 1 team principal Ayao Komatsu has revealed that he’s a big Coventry City fan, and has been for almost 30 years. The Japanese engineer, who this month became team principal for Haas following the departure of Guenther Steiner, might be all the more excited about the Sky Blues this season following the arrival of fellow Tokyo-born Tatsuhiro Sakamoto.
The 47-year-old Komatsu’s footballing allegiance was revealed in an interview with Sky Sports F1 coverage. He’s not the first Formula 1 fan of Coventry City, of course, with Leamington-born team principal and CEO of Red Bull F1, Christian Horner, a self-proclaimed supporter, while Eddie Jordan used to go to games at Highfield Road during the club’s Premier League years.
Komatsu said: “Since 1995 I have been supporting Coventry City.” The interviewer then put to him: “You do know that Christian Horner supports Coventry - you could go to the Arena together,” to which he replied: “I have no idea but if he’s up for it, yes.”
20% of F1 team principals are Cov fans.

VisaCashappRB's problem is that the team has no real own name anymore, its RB. Nobody is calling out the full name of "Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant" or "Mercedes AMG Petronas", but it is Aston (Martin) or Mercedes.
So come up with some thing better than RB, or go back to the old ToroRosso (Minardi) name.
