Aston Martin decided not to use the new rear wing brought to the Mia GPmafter i tried it. That update came to the green car with the aim of increasing the car’s speed in a straight line with less air resistance, however, the team ultimately did not use that part and Tom McCullough, head of performance for the green teamwanted to clarify that this decision had nothing to do with a possible error in the introduction of improvements and made it clear that everything they introduced this season had a good correlation between the track data and the data that the simulation team had. and wind tunnels.
If true, that bodes well for the future. introducing important improvements as coming this weekend at the Emilia Romagna GPat Imola, where many other teams will introduce their first major package of course evolutions.
“No simulator problems”
“There are no problems in the simulator. On the (Miami) asphalt there is little grip and a lot of sliding, so we need more load than an improvement in top speed. We talked about it for a long time and then made this decision, but if we do it again this weekend We probably would have made a different decision, although I don’t think it would have been a determining factor if we hadn’t used the spoiler.“, he declared, highlighting something already said by Team Principal Mike Krack, who assured that the wing change was made only because of the unique conditions of the track in Miami, where there is very little grip.
It should be noted that Aston Martin introduced some slightly new features in Japan and others in Miami, but the main package of its evolutions will be implemented at Imola this weekend. In that sense, to approve or suspend these evolutions, it will also be necessary to compare them with the steps forward that are approaching in other vehicles that introduce new components, such as the big step that McLaren seems to have taken in its remarkable evolutions in Miami.
They don’t blame the Mercedes rear suspension
Furthermore, McCullough rejected the idea that the rear suspension they share with Mercedes was partly responsible for Aston Martin’s poor performance at the start of the race and its greater breakdown: “We’re happy with the suspensions we have. Our problems don’t come from that element, but from how we use the tires.” That, at least, is the official version given by the green team’s performance manager.
It should be noted that Aston Martin must use the Mercedes rear suspension because it is a customer of the star team’s engines, as well as its gearbox, something that some consider as an additional complication when creating a car, since the Aston Martin’s concept had to consider from the beginning the design of the suspension, gearbox and engine provided by Mercedes, something that groups like Ferrari or Red Bull, with their own machines, should not do.
