Aston Martin has gotten on top of its vibrations problem, but another has been uncovered.
Fernando Alonso has identified the gearbox as Aston Martin’s next challenge to address, with vibrations now being controlled after the Miami Grand Prix. Despite not experiencing chassis vibrations during qualifying, the performance aspect remained a concern for the British team. The team’s reliability showed improvement as both Alonso and Lance Stroll completed the Grand Prix without issues. Alonso acknowledged the progress made in terms of reliability but noted that the car’s performance was still similar to its struggles in Japan. The focus now shifts to addressing the gearbox issues, as Alonso revealed struggles with gear changes, which are crucial for success in Canada. The team aims to enhance gearbox behavior before the upcoming race to ensure smoother performance during heavy braking zones.
