Aston Martin’s ambition knows no limits. In Canada they were at a very similar level to Red Bull for the first time all season. But in Silverstone they want to go one step further.
Dan Fallows, technical director of the team and head of the design of the AMR23is aware that the main problem with the car is inconsistency.
The car driven by Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll is very competitive on circuits with heavy braking and slow corners, aspects in which it is very close to Red Bull.
However, suffers a lot in fast corneras could be seen at the Spanish Grand Prix, where they were the fourth team, surpassed not only by the energy drink team, but also by Mercedes and Ferrari.
For this reason, the new package seeks to make the green car a competitive car also on high-speed tracks. Mike Krack, Aston Martin’s team principal, is confident that the new package will get rid of those problems.
“I am not worried as I think we’ve seen the latest updates, which seem to be working as intended. And there are some tracks where there are a lot of high speed corners and I think in high speed corners we will improve. It has not been seen in Canada, there are not many fast corners, but there are many braking points. So we are looking forward to the next races”, says Krack in statements to ‘Motorsport.com’.
The next two races will be held at the circuits of Spielberg and Silverstonetwo of the fastest tracks of the year, and the Aston Martin principal believes they will be proof of cotton.
“I think that In these circuits we will see the true strength of Red Bull. And we’ll also have a better indication of how far we are,” Krack concluded.
