Aston Martin You have already understood the reason why the car is not working. The mixing of old and new parts is what prevents progress. That’s what he said Mike Krack, who made a diagnosis of what happened during the Brazilian Grand Prix. Lance’s Walk suffered an accident and Fernando Alonso was excluded from the points.
Both spoke of brake problems and this is what Krack analyzes on the Aston Martin website: “It was clear that they were both suffering with a very difficult car to drive in Sunday’s race. “Our post-weekend analysis highlighted several factors that explain this.”
“After the accidents of the two cars in qualifying, we had to replace many components with different specifications due to availability at the end of a triplet. This is authorized by the regulations for sprint events, and you declare what you are missing and the spare parts options to the FIA before the event,” explains the Luxembourger.
They could change these parts, but not the mechanical configuration. And this led to disaster: “However, It is not allowed to modify the mechanical configuration of the carsThis meant we could not check or adjust the settings, which negatively affected aerodynamic behavior and performance.”
“Both cars were very sensitive to wheel lock, and we can see in the data that this is what caused the problems, both for Lance and Fernando,” concludes Krack.
And the rivals advance. Alpine’s double podium with Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly It’s even more painful. Which the team led by Lawrence Stroll in no way managed to achieve.
And in the three remaining races, Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi, no miracle is expected. Aston Martin will continue to be one of the worst teams on the grid.
