Aston Martin he will continue with his philosophy of developing his car, taking small new things from race to race instead of a big new aerodynamic package that completely changes the car or its philosophy, as Ferrari, Mercedes have done and eventually. McLaren either williamssets that can change their good performance depending on each circuit with Aston Martin or also Alpine from this point in the course. The green team did not stop and their boss, Mike Crackis making sure that as part of his development plan, he will continue to bring things to the next appointments, although not revealing their importance.
“We have new parts here (Silverstone), some in Budapest, some in Spa, some in Holland, so continuous improvement,” commented blow up at Silverstone, where the team has been testing small changes to its rear wing or so-called ‘beam wing’.
Aston Martin worked a miracle in the beginning
Perhaps the reason for this philosophy of taking small things at each appointment is directly related to tools that Aston Martin has to play with, in a clear lack of infrastructure so far compared to big and integrated teams like Ferrari or Mercedes.
So far, what Aston Martin has achieved with what it has for 2023 and this year can be considered a miracle. The team worked with fewer tools, with a very small headquarters, with less machinery, and had to outsource most of the creation of their parts, as MD found out during his visit to the new headquarters -office.
That can be seen reflected in a car’s development that has been more stagnant than the sudden changes in performance seen in other teams. Aston Martin carries loose parts race by raceas these novelties are available to take them to the track.
The green box must continue its improvements in Budapest and in the following appointments as it continues to examine the reasons for the lower performance of the car at circuits such as Silverstone, Austria or Barcelona, due to the similar characteristics of these tracks, with many fast corners and a greater demand on the front tires than the rear.
It’s no news that the team is committed to improving its fight to advance to have more efficiency and top speed and have a better DRS, but above all, it does it with an eye on the next year. Alonso recognized this himself, “The team’s focus is more long-term and it’s not on a race”. “Even on Friday (at Silverstone), all of FP1 is dedicated to the 2024 car. Just to say a bit where the head of the whole team is now”, he commented on this matter.
Hungary, circuit in favor of Aston Martin
In this sense, in the next race, the Hungarian GP, Alonso hopes that his car will be competitive again. As it happened from Barcelona to Canada, just because of the difference of the two tracks, some of Aston Martin’s strong rivals at Silverstone could melt away and the green car could once again aim to be second best on the grid and compete for podium Or maybe fight for something else if the car performs again on ‘Monaco without walls’ as he did in the Monaco GP against Verstappen.
At the moment, performance and results can vary significantly from track to track. Alonso will need to maximize the car’s strong weekend and minimize damage on unfavorable circuits to continue fighting for second or third position in the Drivers’ and Constructors’ World Championship.
