2024 Aston Martin | Aramco F1 Team

[Joseki]

Stroll has always been the true value of the car and it’s clear that this year it started as 5th fastest and is now struggling to make it in Q2.

They have once again gone backwards.

I hope today no aston fan defend team. This is utter ****show. Car had no frontend cant turn in. Strings or poor updates since last year soon gonna be behind alpine/williams.

Think the problem is too many slow speed corners and no High Speed corners, are strength is HS corners and are weakness is low speed. We're losing time at the exits of 3, 6, 7, 9, 13, 15, 18.


Think Alonso ruined his floor when he went off track. That's why they told him not to go out again.

[Rikrikrik]

We are definitely the 6th fastest team now. Racing bulls are quicker than us

No We just quick A BIT front williams and kick, fighting with Haas. Will be the worst team until Hungary. They need make a deep changes

This happens when you become satisfied and only fight to improve and not to win, a bit like what happened in Alpine. In F1 you're about winning the world championship, not finishing third, second fourth etc. I think Aston has the ability to turn everything around and recover, above all they hope Newey comes because if he goes to Ferrari it's over

That's right with the 65 years old Newey(67 in 2026), Ferrari will win every race every quali for then next 100 years! Newey will be 160 and still working for Ferrari.

Fernando talked about his wrist in Miami. Regardless of car performance, I gauge Fernando vs Stroll. He is usually 0.3-0.4s ahead.

[Big Gun]

Alonso said the team called him into the pits for a problem just before he could do his last lap on low fuel.

Probably broke the floor

Yep heard that. Alonso said "we go now? Engineer said ¨ box box", like there was a problem. Alonso asked why and no response from Eng. ...just "box".

[Big Gun]

Should start from the pitlane and change the set up to focus on race pace.

Aside all the problems, set-ups ecc... if we put the car in the best conditions, the car is still SLOW : no pace no balance no tyre optimization since BAHRAIN.

It is ok to be optimistic every race and we understood we are not fighting this years for podiums. But we cannot keep missing the upgrades. Both TORO ROSSO are in Q3 today a team that is indeed sister company of Red Bull but with half of Aston Martin talents and capabilities. HAAS the same, they put a car in Q3 almost every race.

Someone at ASTON need to take responsibility for their big paychek they are receiving and stop selling us optimism every interview.

Fernando's form over last two races is concerning.

Lance is matching Alonso since Miami. I am not sure if Lance has raised the game or Alonso has lost the confidence in the car.
Typically, Lance struggled with 'New Upgrades' but he is not since Miami.
Does that mean, AM is bringing these upgrades focusing on making the car drivable for Lance? Resulting in braking everything.

But equaling what? But are you seeing which positions are being fought for at the moment? But are you serious or are you joking?

I am not praising Lance or car performance. Whenever AM introduced upgrades in the past ; Lance had made Q1 exist or lost the car in the barrier. All I am saying, car characteristic has changed (for good or bad) towards Lance. Not sure if it’s by design or just a coincidence.
Anyways, Alonso should start from Pit lane tomorrow with ‘Old Spec’. At least team can compare the performance. Otherwise, this weekend is over for AM.

[SSJ4]

They just need to start running the big rear wing and run higher downforce settings at this rate

[saputra_25]

The massive upgrade they brought this weekend seems not working at all. Very unfortunate, I was hoping they can at least lead the mid-field. They have all the potential to do so

[-wkst-]

Very bad from the team (in the factory for producing such upgrades) and from the star driver (making mistakes after mistakes, being slower than STR).
