How everything has changed Aston Martin. How has it been, or is it, a year in which the illusion was sold and it was a reality blow for them. Because it started with looking up. Because it all started with comparisons with Mercedes and Ferrari. Because in the end, everything is like that. It’s about seeing that there is no magic by Fernando Alonso can hide more than obvious problems of the AMR24.
He already said it. He said it several times. This is not the fifth team. They are not the sixth either. They are, according to their sensations and what the car transmits to them, the seventh. The seventh of a ten-a-side World Cup in which There is a team, Sauber, who did not add a single point nor is he expected to do so. Or there is a RB which is basically the Red Bull subsidiary. Where is he an alpine that no one knows where he is going.
But also is Williams. And there is also Haas. According to Fernando, they are both above it. And according to the Americans too.
“We were faster than Aston Martin”
This is what Ayao Komatsu, his boss, said in words that reflect in ‘SoyMotor’ of some of his statements in ‘Auto Motor und Sport’. This confirms what Aston Martin and Fernando Alonso are the ones who fear the most.
“Most of the time since the summer holidays we have been faster than Aston Martin”, said the big boss of the Americans.
Hülkenberg, six tenths from pole
And the truth is that this could well be the case, according to what Hülkenberg himself achieved, who obtained sixth place in qualifying, six tenths behind Lando Norris. All this, for the work they accomplished in 2024.
“The first improvement only worked 50% and the second This gave us even more performance. With the first, some saw how they could get more. No one was blamed. We come together,” he said.
And be careful, they want more: “The Sixth of Hülkenberg It was like a goalpost for our little team. Every idea has continuity and it doesn’t matter who it comes from. Before, everything came from above. »
“It is planned to analyze everything. Day after day. If it is a department that it just makes noise and at the factory, we discuss where the best ideas come from, we will gain nothing from it,” he says.
