Silverstone marks the start of the last one train of races before usual summer break. The English circuit is excellent test bench to test the updates and many teams want to take the opportunity to go one step furtherand important evolutionary step of single-seaters. Among them is also Aston Martin, which already a Barcelona had brought a first development of the AMR22, from which important points and signals arrived. You will surely remember the scandal of bellies similar to the RB18 in Spain. Filed now the question Aston Martin prepares for more news for Silverstone. What do we know.
Excellent signs in the last three races
The 'green Red Bull' – labeled as it was before the FIA cleared it, hasn't worked miracles for the team. However, the sixth place of Sebastian Vettel a Baku, and the fact of having scored points in each of the last three games after Barcelona, showed that the team has made progress. Of course, the ambition is not to be able to fight for a victory, let alone come close in case there should be a crazy race. The commitment of Aston Martin I say fight mostly against itself and its innumerable limits. And above all to understand how to solve problems now so as not to repeat them in the future.
Updates ready
Il doubt main is what these performance are related mainly to type of circuit particularly favorable to Aston Martin. The head of Aston Martin, mike krack, a The Race, he said, in fact, that, in good substance, the car è remained unchanged even after the Barcelona updates. "We had this [update] for Barcelona, but you'll remember in Barcelona we lacked pace, very clearly, and the car hasn't changed." Krack said. “We have a car that is definitely better than the one at the start of the season, but also tracks that helped us to be a bit more competitive than perhaps we would have been if there had been three races on a similar track in Barcelona.”
Krack preaches calm
Aston Martin, as already mentioned, has taken steps forward: she went from battling not to be eliminated in Q1 to entering Q3 twice, and overtaking the Haas in the standings. A Silverstone several teams will bring updates. And we're not just talking about top teams like Ferrari e Red Bull. Alpine too, Mercedes and others don't want to come away empty-handed and this, of course, also plays against Aston Martin according to Krack, who, despite this, preaches calm.
"We have to keep our feet on the ground. We know that we have to bring updates for these kind of circuits that are coming, and that's also why we decided to do it this way. We have to update the car in order to remain competitive, because we know that the others will also have updates at Silverstone. You have to look at how tight the center group is: you don't need a big step to gain positions."
Recapture the group center
Il center group is always more compact, thanks also to the new regulation that has reshuffled the cards on the table.
"Back in the day, you had your own location and there was some distance between the cars. If you climb to the top of that group, the points you score are more than if you are two or three tenths down. Because of this we can't just say 'Let's look to 2023'. We have to get to the top of this group and it is thus easier to reach the points. We can't end the year where we started it." Krack said in conclusion.
To do this however, we add in conclusion, you will need the support and responsiveness of the entire team, and not just the car.
