Aston Martin performance director Tom McCullough has admitted that it will be a ‘challenge’ for Formula 1 teams to eat
Compared to the RB18, Red Bull made their 2023 car, the RB19, lighter and with a low-drag design, resulting in improved performance in terms of straight-line speed. They won 21 out of 22 races this season, and other teams struggled to catch up. Aston Martin acknowledged Red Bull’s strong performance and their impressive DRS system. Developing a stable and efficient aerodynamic platform with a strong DRS is challenging but crucial. Aston Martin introduced a new rear wing, including a wider beam wing, changes to the endplates, and revisions to the upper rear wing assembly, in the hope of improving efficiency for the 2024 season. Initial results have been promising, and they have seen positive performance during testing and the final race in Abu Dhabi.
