Aston Martin wants to correct its course and respond to the improvement of its rivals. Although all the teams at this point have focused all their efforts on creating their new cars for 2024, Aston Martin continues its aim to restore its current situation. The green team wants to improve its performance in the last 5 races of the year by showing some new features at the United States GP which the team also wants to serve to draw key conclusions for the path to take with the car next that year.
This was confirmed by the technical director of Aston Martin through a statement, without giving many details about some improvements of which the specialized portal ‘Motorsport.com’ is more specific. Aiming to reverse its current situation, after being overtaken by McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari in the battle to become the second best car after Red Bull, Aston Martin will show in Austin a new floor where it wants to improve the performance of its car , where Fernando Alonso suffered a lot in the last races, with many whiplashes and more difficulty in fighting with his direct rivals.
The docile car, which was second best on the grid at the start of the season, was overtaken by three teams and became a more complicated car to drive. Aston Martin had to correct this trend, and to that end they created new parts.
New flooring and more
According to the aforementioned publication, the Aston Martin AMR23 of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll will show changes to the floor, the part that provides the most aerodynamic load in current F1 cars, and also to the front. The aforementioned media ensures that the green car will have an external flow director inspired by the one used by Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren to better manage the turbulence of the front wheels to obtain greater aerodynamic efficiency. This should be an important new piece for the creation of the 2024 car, to evaluate its performance in the final races to draw important conclusions for the path forward with the new car next year.
Fallows, positive message
“We have some updates over the weekend and we’re interested to see how they work. In a way, it’s a shame that it’s a sprint format weekend (with a free practice session) because we want to have more plenty of time to study those updates and see how the cars will perform,” commented Dan Fallows.
“It will be a big challenge to achieve understanding as soon as possible. We are excited to see how the improvements work. It is a track where we should be reasonably competitive if we can do everything well,” he added, raising the team’s expectations after its step backwards in recent events. It should be remembered that in the last Italian GP, asked about the tracks where his car can be competitive, he talked about Austin and Mexico, remembering that in the United States the green team performed well in 2022
