many were, from Red Bull, those who accused Aston Martin for plagiarizing his car, and its concept, at the beginning of the season. Until AlphaTauri. Even they, at one point, questioned the ‘originality’ of a car that they came to describe as a “green Red Bull”. Yes, that was what happened. To that it had to face Dan Fallows, the guru of those from Silverstone.
He had to do it because of his time at Red Bull. From what he learned at the factory. For what he got thanks to having worked with Adrian Newley and with the rest of his team. Therefore, Helmut Marko above all, received not a few criticisms after witnessing the world of F1 the great miracle of Aston Martin.
The miracle of a team that last summer was ninth just ahead of Williams, and that in this Miami GP has achieved thanks to the work in the factory and Fernando Alonso the first line of the start on the Florida track.
And they are second in the Constructors’ World Championship. And third in the pilots. Yes, the work is being good. So good that the tables seem to have been reversed, as they say in ‘Motorsport’.
The AMR23 ‘inspires’ Red Bull
Because those who accused of copying have now been ‘inspired’ by the AMR23 sidepod concept. In one that is the most extreme and that caught the attention of Red Bull. Because they were not the same. They weren’t… until now.
Already in Baku Red Bull rode a packet in the direction of the AMR23. He did not compromise the Honda engine, and in Miami they have done the same again.
They have also done it for two. because besides narrow the entrances have revised the fluid dynamics of the interior.
It has been that way even with the heat that was expected in Miami, with temperatures over 45 degrees on the asphalt.
Now we will have to see if Helmut Marko, or someone at AlphaTauri, It says something about a Red Bull move taken from, or inspired by, the masterpiece that Dan Fallows has created for Aston Martin.
