Aston Martin want to change the situation. The green team did not start at the expected level Formula 1 World Cup and the largest package of its evolutions, is presented in Imola two races ago, it did not give the expected results at the start. The green team saw how teams like McLaren and Ferrari took better advantage of their improvements and pulled away with Red Bull at the front, while Aston Martin progressed less and fell into another more distant battle with RB either Alpine in the middle zone, away from the podiums. Consequently, Mike Krack, Team Principal of the Silverstone team, and Fernando Alonso, made it clear that there is no other way to recover than to keep bringing new features to the track. to find the right path for development and the right situation. And that’s what they’re going to do in Canada.
This weekend, according to ‘Motorsport.com’ from the pit lane of the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, Aston Martin will install a modified front wing compared to the new one from Imola and a floor with changes to start getting out of the hole which they did. going through.
All this, after a complete analysis of the performance of the improvement package brought to Imola, a circuit where Fernando Alonso finally chose to compete in very experimental settings in the race to give the engineers basic data to find answers.
Exactly, the team owned by Canadian businessman Lawrence Stroll began to lose direction last year in the development of its car with a large package of innovations mounted on this track after a surprising start in 2023 with consecutive podiums for Alonso. A year later, the English team hopes that the situation is reversed and is starting to change.
Canadian news
According to ‘Motorsport’, The front wing that attracted so much attention at Imola would have been changed, but above all, the big news should be the floor of the car, with changes applied to the floor presented at Imola after analyzing the data that collected on the track.. The floor is the element that provides the greatest aerodynamic load in current F1 cars and, therefore, the element that determines the most performance.
Aston Martin is confident that its car has great hidden potential that it has yet to unleash and its aim is to realize it from now on. This will be the clue that indicates whether the new parts are starting to represent important steps forward for Aston Martin that are yet to come. Alonso already said in Imola: “Without two or three tenths every two or three races is difficult.”
Alonso trusted
The rest of the teams take steps forward with each update. SA Aston Martin and Mercedes (with whom it shares a wind tunnel, as well as an engine, gearbox and rear suspension) are the teams that do not improve much with each new development. But the case of McLaren, which went from being at the bottom last year to fighting for victories this year, is an example that should serve for Aston Martin to keep looking for solutions without giving up and with motivation . Fernando Alonso has warned in Monaco: “Things can change quickly.”
