Furious Komatsu dismisses 'nonsense' reports of Bearman demanding £5m salary

Haas boss Ayao Komatsu has furiously dismissed reports claiming that contract extension talks with Oliver Bearman are being held up by the British driver demanding a £5m annual salary.

Both Bearman and Komatsu have expressed confidence in recent weeks that a deal will be done to extend the 21-year-old's current contract, which expires at the end of the 2026 season.
