The Silverstone-based squad debuted a revised rear wing aimed at enhancing straight-line competitiveness with a low-drag configuration. Despite switching to the updated version in practice, Aston Martin later reverted to their previous rear wing choice for the weekend. Team Principal Mike Krack attributed the decision to the increased sliding experienced with the lower-downforce concept on the AMR24. The discussion around balancing downforce and top speed based on tyre behavior is ongoing within the team. Aston Martin faced challenges at the Miami International Autodrome, failing to reach Q3, but Fernando Alonso secured two points with a ninth-place finish in the race. Alonso acknowledged the team’s fortune with the Safety Car, stating it helped their strategy and race performance. Despite the improvements made during the race, Aston Martin aims to enhance their pace further.
