He Bad start to campaign and bad expectations For the current season of Aston Martinthe British team focuses on the AMR26 with the new regulation that will enter into force in 2026. the AMR25 This season is not complete To try things next year, That is, tests will be done to measure performance for the year you come. Therefore, the new pieces you receive in current car may be an improvement, but they can also worsen what is now, and that could end up even shameful.
Bad Planning of Aston Martin
The season of Aston Martin is the result of bad planning: The important ones changes made in Silverstonewhere a new factory has been released, where all the Technological systemswhere it has been signed again personalthey have caused the team to stay No time to develop a merely competitive car. The team had that this was not going to be a good year, but they could not assume that it was going to be so disastrous, at least at home.
He Aston Martin maintains a fight with Sauber for not being the worst car the grill. The expectations at the beginning of the year was to be fighting in the middle zone, but reality has turned out to be very different. Now the team has been left with hardly any margin and without resources to be able to resume the course, so the team is almost completely focused on the next season.
AMR25 updates
Despite this, and given the ridicule at this start of the campaign, Aston Martin will bring improvements to the next three races, Imola, Monaco and Spain. This was confirmed Andy CowellChief of Aston Martin.
“We are going to take some pieces to Icola,” Cowell confirmed. «We have to decide if it is right, but there will also be new things in Monaco and Barcelona. Some are related to the regulatory change on the rigidity of the front wings ».
The performance of these pieces is key to the future of Aston Martin. They are the first to be made about the new wind tunneland hope they can provide improvements in performance to get out of the well.
AMR25, a laboratory for next season
But the reality is that these improvements, even if they suppose an advance in the car, They do not seem to suppose an important change for this season. The distance is huge and it is complicated that such abrupt change occurs with simple updates. That is why Aston Martin has opted for a new strategy for this year, to try the new pieces that will be part of the AMR26 of the next season. It is a way to optimize the car of the next season, and they could also mean winning performance for this campaign.
«There are technologies designed for 2026 that we are going to try in the 2025 car. It is the only way to validate things for the future: if it works in the race, it really works. So we are going to use this car to test and improve tools in a still young team, which now starts using resources that large teams have been taking advantage of.
Therefore, Aston Martin will seek to improve the AMR25 with pieces designed for next year, which is the real goal of Aston Martin. The current season is already lost, although they manage to improve, since it improves, at most, it will allow them to fight for some points in some careers. Of course, they will be able to put the new tools to be able to perfect the car of the next season.
