Aston Martin Formula 1 boss Mike Krack has teased that the team has some “promising” developments in the pipeline drafted
The Aston Martin team had a strong start in the previous season, securing six podiums in the first eight races, but faced setbacks with compromised upgrades that saw them drop to fifth place in the championship standings. Technical Director Dan Fallows emphasized the importance of building a strong foundation for sustained performance improvements during the launch of the team’s 2024 car. Despite challenges, Aston Martin remains committed to making progress with planned updates to their AMR24 charger, aiming to avoid a repeat of last season’s slump. Drivers Krack and Alonso expressed optimism about the improvements made to the car and their readiness for the upcoming season, acknowledging the fierce competition on the grid. Lance Stroll, who missed last year’s pre-season testing due to injury, is pleased with the team’s seamless preparations this year and is looking forward to the start of the new season.
