The messages that have come from Aston Martin have been very prudent since they took over the services of Fernando Alonso. But that has changed this Thursday, two months after the start of the Formula 1 championship. Its deputy technical director, Eric Blandin, has detailed the “loopholes” in the regulation that the team has found.
It has been on the team’s own website where he has launched a more than optimistic message: “We are going to show the current car at the presentation, as we did last year. The car that we will present on February 13 will be the real one AMR23 and We’re not going to let the fans down.”
“We brought many improvements to AMR22 and the progress we have made confirms that we are on the right track for 2023“, has expressed the engineer of the green team.
Finding those “gaps” is essential to develop a car superior to the rest. And it seems that Aston Martin has achieved it: “We have taken all our learning from the car from last year and applied it to the AMR23, most of it is totally different to the AMR22.”
“We have changed more than 90% of the car and 95% of the airfoils. We’ve also implemented some smart innovations on the 2023 car. It’s great that you find a little loophole and use it to your advantage,” he details.
The preseason is being key to solving all the problems that the car presents: “If you need to solve an aerodynamic problem, a week is not enough time for it…”.
“If you have a significant problem with reliability or suspensions, you are going to be on the ropes with so little space between preseason and the first race. We hope to obtain information that confirms that everything is working as it should and so we will focus on going fast, “she has sentenced.
Surely Alonso has been excited by these statements from one of the most bosses in Aston Martin. Also his fans, who at his 41 years They continue to maintain hope of seeing their third Formula 1 World Cup.
