Some days ago, Adrian Newleythe most famous engineer of the Formula 1 and ideologue of the golden age of Red Bullassured that there are gray areas to exploit… and that there may be a team that gives the ‘bell’.
“It is quite possible that someone else has a better idea. I dare not say if our path is the best. Maybe another one has much greater development potential but is still lagging behind today“, said the square and bevel guru in the digital age.
His statements go hand in hand with others that also emanated from the garage of Red Bullspecifically of ‘Czech’ Perez. The Mexican launched a notice about what you hear about Aston Martin in the paddock… and you know: when the river sounds…
Well then, obsessed with taking a leap in performance hand in hand with Fernando Alonsoin the Silverstone team they have spent most of 2022 working on the 2023 car, the first to be completely designed by Dan Fallowscurrent technical director of Aston Martin and former head of aerodynamics at Red Bullwhere he was the right hand of Adrian Newey.
The British engineer, in statements collected by ‘Crash.net’, has assured that they have taken the path that Newey slipped in his words: a completely alternative to that of the ‘greats’ of Formula 1.
That is why we will not attend to another ‘pink mercedes’ or a pseudo Red Bull like him AMR22-B of the second half of this season.
“The important thing for us is to make sure that not just replicate what our competitors are doing. We don’t think that will help us overtake Mercedes, Red Bull or Ferrari. So we have to develop our own way of doing things and that takes time,” Fallows explained.
At the same time, the ‘guru’ affirms that the other key lies in not leaving anything to chance or any loose end: “There are a number of reasons why Red Bull is as good as it is. They have achieved, over a period of years, solve problems in all aspects of the teambe it the race team, the manufacturing facility, the design office.”
“To achieve this kind of success, one of the keys is to make sure there are no areas of substantial weakness. I am very proud to have been part of that in the engineering section,” he assured.
“They are an incredibly strong team. I have experience of what it means to win races and championships and I think the key message is that you have to make sure that in every aspect of what you’re doing, no holes. Things that could compromise what you’re doing or your performance as you go along,” she added.
Therefore, he believes that in Aston Martin there is wood to give the ‘chime’ to which Newey referred: “We have a hugely ambitious group of people and the new factory demonstrates this drive, this vision, this desire to speed up the process of moving up the grid and begin to enter a winning dynamic“.
“I think that’s what will really help us get there: that passion, that motivation and that belief that we will finally get there“, has settled Fallows, who already a few days ago also stated that they would have a “aggressive strategy” to give the opportunity to Fernando Alonso to fight for podiums and victories… and who knows if because of the Formula 1 World Cup.
