Aston Martin gives further clues about building Alonso’s car for 2024

Track events may end by 2023, but formula 1 We are far from standing still. All teams will begin off-track racing to develop the best cars for the 2024 season. It may still seem far away, but it starts in just over two months.In the case of aston martinAfter impressing with his breakthrough quality last winter, he wants to make some further progress on the grid and once again enjoy the podiums he has achieved so far. Fernando Alonso.

The Asturian finished on the podium eight times throughout the season, which helped him finish fourth in the drivers’ standings.but The final sentiment was worse than the sentiment at the beginning of the season, when even getting into the box was normal.. Other teams evolved their cars even further, and Aston Martin slipped away from the top spot. 2nd team finished in 5th place in the constructors’ championship.

To avoid this drop in competitiveness, Silverstone players have set a series of goals for this winter.As described tom mccullar british performance directorthey try to keep the base car efficient on all circuits and modified only from an aerodynamic point of view.

“Now we are A car that Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll can drive on all tracks, just by changing the rear or front wing. Like it’s strong. In 2023 we had to change the components a little bit depending on whether the track is slow, fast or efficient…that’s also why we change some components every race. ”

It was very obvious that in 2023 there are circuits that have AMR23 flying compared to other layouts. It even happened a few days apart. For example, after a fiasco, Mexico and Austin shine again in Brazil.and the same thing happened monaco He came very close to that famous 33rd victory, but just two weeks earlier, Barcelona He suffered more than expected.

“The goal for 2024 is to build a car where the base level is so high that you don’t have to do it as often. So I think we learned a lot from the tests we did with the components. “What we learned from the physical testing of certain parts on the track helped us develop the car we use today,” McCullough said in conclusion.
