Following an extraordinary start to the season, with three podiums achieved in three races, Aston Martin have started at home to dream big. The Silverstone stable it was the second force on the track by distance, immediately behind Red Bull. Fernando's podiums Alonso in fact they spoke clearly, even if things over time - following various updates - have changed quite a bit.
A particular season: from rebirth to relapse
Since the Canadian GP - the stage in which the real updates on the AMR23 arrived - neither Fernando Alonso and neither Lance Stroll could find it the right feeling with the car, proving several times to be behind not only Ferrari and Mercedes, but also the reborn McLaren. In the rankings, at least at the moment, Aston is third with five points to defend on Ferrari. Not a very simple mission, especially considering a car that appears to be completely different to the one driven by the two Verdona drivers at the beginning of the season.
Aston Martin confirms the updates
For this reason, at Aston Martin - for this second part of the season - there will be no shortage of updates. This was confirmed by Silverstone team performance director Tom McCullough"We have had very strong development set up throughout the year and, I can guarantee, we have the budget to continue developing the car. This, after all, is our goal. We will therefore take some steps until the end of the championship, doing the best we can".
McCullough: “2024? We can work on both machines”
Therefore, important updates are coming in view of the season finale, even if the more time passes the more we're starting to think about the 2024 car"At a certain point – McCullough admitted – it's obvious that you have to work almost exclusively on the 2024 car, but we are at the stage where we can work on both cars."
