Lando Norris trolls Aston Martin: “They’ve done it!”

The last few races haven’t exactly gone well for Aston Martin. After a great start to the championship, the British team is going through a moment of uncertainty where they will not be able to be competitive enough to continue fighting to enter the podium.

This situation is discussed in the paddock, and not always with respect. This is the case of Lando Norris, who did not hesitate to push the team of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll.

“Aston is obviously… I don’t know, they’ve managed to make the car slower and slower with every evolution they’ve brought. They have done it! Red Bull and Mercedes were competing against Aston at the beginning of the year and I don’t know where they ended up in Austin. They were not in Q1 and were struggling, I don’t know what their problems were, but they were very strong and scored a lot of points in the first half of the season. Then they have suffered, it has gone the other way for us,” he declared after the last race in Austin, in which he was second to Verstappen and where Stroll was seventh and Alonso abandoned.

Despite the problems suffered in Austin, the feeling left by Aston Martin was positive, by the reaction of the team facing a delicate moment, taking advantage of Sunday with good settings, good rhythm and for collecting a lot of data that will be used to understand their new weapons and their optimization. Mexico must do better. According to Alonso himself, Sunday’s race in Austin was more “an FP0 in Mexico”, that is, perfect practice sessions to prepare for the weekend’s event.

After the premiere of the new package of improvements in Austin, according to ‘BBC’ journalist Ted Kravitz, Aston Martin should bring more evolutions to the Mexican GP. “They will have more improvements in Mexico and they understand their evolutions for a better Mexican GP“said the reporter after the F1 United States GP.
