All pending Aston Martin and Alonso’s improvements: it’s time to attack

First is Mercedes the one who presented a half new car Monacowhat to Barcelona surprised by its good performance. Then it was the turn of Ferrari, with an important model of novelties in Spain that they still need to understand and understand. And now, Aston Martin is expected to make a move at the Canadian GP of F1. In the house of its owner, the billionaire Lawrence take a walkThe group of Silverstone it wants to respond to the exciting race of evolution.

Alonso has reiterated on several occasions the need to bring in new pieces. And in Barcelona, ​​his smile gave him away. I know things. After the race, far from regretting not getting points and having a lower speed than Mercedes, the Spaniard warned: “In Canada we crush them.” He said between laughs. And he warned that new parts will arrive in Montreal and that they will also bring improvements to the next appointment at Silverstone. In the paddock, rumors are an important package for this appointment in Canada. And although for now the new parts that the car will carry remain unknown, at Aston Martin they do not hide their illusion.

“He was right when Alonso asked us for improvements and urged us to improve. Something is coming to Canada. This is a step”, pointed out the team’s Team Principal, Mike Krack.

For his part, Lawrence Strolling, owner of the group, he is sure that this weekend the group will pick the drawer again: “The podium? This is the plan. Hopefully both of our cars can make it to the podium. I have a lot of confidence. I think the car will be very strong on the Montreal circuit, the layout suits our car… so I’m really looking forward to going home and having a good career. We will bring some solutions and evolution.” His rivals were warned.

Two more doubts: Mercedes and Ferrari

Regardless of the evolution of Aston Martin, Red Bull is the great favorite and behind them there are two doubts: LFirst, the Mercedes. The stars were the second best car in Barcelona but benefited greatly from the lower than usual temperature at the Spanish track. Can they repeat their performance in Canada? The improvement seems clear, but maybe Barcelona can be too much and too fast.

Another doubt has the Ferrari name. The Italians were disappointed with their new package of improvements in Barcelona, betting on a new concept for them and they still need to understand and evaluate. In addition, Barcelona is, according to Sainz, one of the worst tracks for his car because of the pure characteristics of the car. So, in Montreal, the red car can be improved. And if in Maranello they managed to understand how to lower the tires less, the improvement would be even greater, although that last point seems complicated that it can be solved.

Aston Martin and his creation of parts

By regulation, Aston Martin had more time in the wind tunnel than its rivals to develop its car throughout the first half of the season., and that means that the Silverstone team, if they know how to use that card, they can take more ideas to create new pieces that will allow them to improve. However, despite the fact that Aston Martin has brought some evolutions to the track, dropper, Ferrari and Mercedes are more aggressive and faster, showing big packages of new things before Silverstone.

From what MD found out, the ability to create parts from big factories like Ferrari or Mercedeswho were able to invest without limit for many years before the budget ceiling was reached, It is superior to the Aston Martin and many other sets. Today, the green team is changing factories and still has to make important investments in the short term, gradually, in part of its production structure (since some investments are considered within the annual budget limit and it is impossible to do them simultaneously). hit in the same course).

That is, Aston Martin has a lower production capacity for parts at the moment. But if you could have used your wind tunnel hours to your advantage to pick up the right ideas. Having learned MD through an important source, the green team hopes to have this learning noticed in July.

That means, the month perfectly aligns with the enhancement package that should also arrive for Silverstone (July 7-9), together with the one from Canada, can continue to promote a good fight for the podiums with Mercedes and Ferrari. Of course, there is a big difference: Mercedes changed half of the car and should not have much room for maneuver to continue introducing many improvements due to the budget ceiling. for the large cost spent on your current new package.

We have to go step by step. First, it will be necessary to confirm that Aston Martin is moving forward in Canada and see how Mercedes and Ferrari perform. And then wait to see if Aston Martin used its head start wind tunnel hours to draw conclusions that, even if they take longer to develop new parts compared to their rivals, they can make a difference from summer.
