Aston Martin is braced for the intervention of the Sprint format to limit its understanding of the upgrades it is
Aston Martin has been struggling in the development race and has only managed one top-three finish in the past nine races, despite starting the season strongly. They were competing with Mercedes and Ferrari for second place in the Constructors’ Championship, but now face increasing pressure from McLaren. McLaren scored more points in the previous race than Aston Martin has in the last six races combined. As a result, Aston Martin will be introducing further upgrades in Austin to try and improve their performance. Aston Martin’s Technical Director, Dan Fallows, acknowledges that the limited practice time before qualifying will make it challenging to understand the impact of the upgrades. He also mentions that the team has learned valuable lessons from their recent struggles and will apply those lessons to next year’s car.
