Kanai & Haas F1 Team enjoy RC at Japanese F1 Grand Prix

It has become a bit of a tradition at the Japanese F1 Grand Prix with former 1:8 Buggy World Champion and legendary Kyosho chassis designer Yuichi Kanai bringing RC on to the grid at Suzuka, and this year he was sharing the experience with the MoneyGram Haas F1 Team.  Bringing along three nitro powered Inferno buggies, Kanai was once again joined by Esteban Ocon, who has kicked off his last three Japanese Grand Prix weekends by driving RC cars, and his new Haas team-mate Oliver Bearman.  With both Ocon and Bearman both grinning as they raced each other, Ocon having to jump out of the way of one of the buggies, Haas Team Principal Ayao Komatsu also gave it a go.  With Ocon handing over his radio to his team boss, the French F1 driver gave him tips on driving which he seemed to pick up relatively quickly.  With Haas sharing the occasion on its social media, both images and a video, it was all good promotion for RC racing.
