Aston Martin and Haas are set to start both of their respective cars from the pit lane at Formula 1’s
Both teams have brought heavily revised packages to the Circuit of the Americas, but they have encountered setbacks throughout the weekend. The situation has been made worse by the fact that set-ups were locked in after the only practice session on Friday. Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg were supposed to start from 14th and 16th, while Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll were set to line up from 17th and 19th on the grid. Aston Martin’s Deputy Technical Director, Eric Blandin, mentioned that although the package is performing as expected, they haven’t been able to optimize the set-up. As a result, both Aston Martin cars will start from the pit lane, with certain changes being made to their set-ups. Lance will use the new spec, while Fernando will have the Qatar-spec. Additionally, Haas is planning to run different set-ups in order to gain a better understanding of their heavily revised VF-23.
