Aston Martin It crosses one of the most complex moments, since Fernando Alonso He arrived at the team. In his first season with the British team (2023), the Asturian added a total of eight podiums in the Formula 1. But since then, the AMR It has been losing benefits over time. To the point that in this beginning of the course, those of Silverstone They are struggling not to be the last team of the grid. The points locker accumulates 10 units thanks to several moments of fortune for the car Lance Stroll. But the reality is that both the Canadian and the two -time champion are obliged to pilot the limit, if they want to extract a moderately decent result.
The middle zone of the grill is reserved for other shields at the moment. However, although they do not want to give the course for finishing, the reality is that in Silverstone look at the future. From next year, the Formula 1 a new era will begin for which Aston Martin It has been reinforced is many aspects. The first of all, with a Adrian Newy from which they expect a winning car concept. And to check it they will have a wind tunnel last generation, which launched in the factory in mid -March.
Previously, in Aston Martin they worked with the wind tunnel of Mercedes. But since they perform with their own unit, that new “wind tunnel has opened our eyes to a few characteristics. A vision more representative and clearer than is happening ”, acknowledges Andy Cowell, team principal British team, on the website of the F1. What is apparently good news, is followed by a reality. Since ahead, once all the data collected, they must get to work: “From now on we have to do the job: change the shapes, make pieces, understand, and then make real size components to take them to the circuit and measure in this complex environment. ”
So far this year, from Aston Martin They have not brought news about the asphalt. They have simply made specific modifications in specific circuits, which yet evidenced more than this development process will be tedious. At the moment, in Silverstone they are “Enjoying this new tool And we hope to make a faster car with her. ” When you do the development work in a wind tunnel and then change it to another, The results will not be exactly the same. But we enjoy the new tunnel and that has allowed us See things we couldn’t before. ”
