As good as Aston Martin’s start to the F1 season was, its current opposite trajectory is increasingly obvious
Aston Martin’s strong performance at the beginning of the Formula 1 season seems like a distant memory, with Fernando Alonso’s recent second-place finish appearing more to be his magic and others underperforming rather than Aston Martin’s progress. However, Aston Martin is not giving up and plans to continue developing their car throughout the rest of the season in order to compete for second place in the constructors’ championship. They acknowledge that the competition is tough, but they are up for the challenge and are determined to carry their developments into next year as well. The recent Singapore Grand Prix was disappointing for Aston Martin, and a better performance in Japan would help dispel the belief that their season is fading. There have been various theories about Aston Martin’s performance, including issues with the flexi-wing and changes in tyre construction, but it seems the main factor is being outperformed in terms of car development.
