The last best of the season for Aston Martin is just around the corner. In the United States it is likely that they will incorporate the last pieces to try to become the fifth team again, and even more so since they have already confirmed that for weeks all their efforts are in 2025.
Fernando Alonso recognized that they had to improve for this end of the seasonsince they are currently the seventh team. And it seems that the Silverstone-based team has all its confidence in a final package of updates, to focus directly on 2025, where the regulations remain the same and their objective is to start being closer to the teams at the top, since everything will be tighter. Plus, if the latest improvements work, it will be an advantage for next year.
Mike Krack has confirmed that they are no longer focused on 2024: “A couple of weeks have already passed in which the focus has to be on the future.” And according to what it seems, The new parts that Aston will bring have already been ready for some time and they were just waiting for manufacturing. “There is always a delay in producing new parts, but they have been confirmed for quite some time,” said the Team Principal of the British team.
A couple of weeks ago where the focus has to be on the future. We are full throttle for 2025
And not only has he shown that his efforts are in the following year, but that has also used the term “flat out on 2025”, which would be like they are going full throttle with the goal in 2025, That is to say, they could almost say that they ‘abandon’ the 2024 project, without completely abandoning it, since we are in years of continuous regulations and all the information collected is valid for the AMR25 (the car of 2025).
Aston Martin, a ‘new’ team
Furthermore, by the end of the year, or the beginning of the next, They will now be able to count on their new wind tunnel, which will be the most technologically developed of the entire F1 grid. and therefore it should benefit them in the development of new parts, which is the pending issue for Lawrence Stroll’s team, which is difficult for them to find improvements to make big leaps like McLaren, or even Mercedes.
The Luxembourger sees how there are very positive dynamics in some aspects of the team. “You have many metrics that you use to verify where you are, if you are progressing or not” and he has assured that they have improved a lot in “pit stops” and also in “race starts”, something that will be key if they can achieve a jump and get closer to the top 4 again.
