P1racenews AI automatic summary:
The team had to learn a lesson the hard way after introducing updates to their car on the Sprint race weekend at Austin.
Aston Martin Team Principal Mike Krack has implemented a new rule at the team following their double pit lane start at the United States Grand Prix. Both Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso started the race from the pits due to a setup change under parc ferme conditions. Stroll finished ninth on the road, ultimately securing seventh place due to disqualifications. Although Alonso retired due to floor damage, he was also running in the points. Krack acknowledged that while there were some positives, there was also a missed opportunity. The team has learned from this and will have a new rule regarding the introduction of big updates to their car, specifically not bringing them during the Sprint weekend. Krack emphasized the importance of doing their homework and learning from this lesson.
