[FNTC]

Upgraded car?

[diffuser]

Then we turn out attention to 2026!

diffuser sees the light!

That's for me, I think the team still needs to urgently figure out what's going on.

[diffuser]

wow, Alonso starting on Hards ....

[Nikosar]

wow, Alonso starting on Hards ....

They are hoping for a safety car or rain

[Nikosar]

3.6 sec pit stop...

[f1isgood]

Is AM taking Merc parts next year?

No, from next year on they'll user their own gearbox.

Cool, thnx

[TLof]

Slowest car on the grid

[FNTC]

Yeah, desperately needed some rain here...

[diffuser]

3.6 sec pit stop...

That's so they don't get passed on the track

[krich]

Disgusting , thats all i can say, it’s just too sad

The floor they have now, in my opinion, wasn't to improve on last years floor. It was to get stability and gather data. It isn't a lo speed improvement. Hopefully the next one is.

I'm afraid that bad performance in low-speed corners cannot be resolved that fast, it looks like there is something wrong with the mechanical grip of the car. This would confirm their constant problems with tyre wear and overheating.

Technically, if they just put last year's floor on, it would improve by .5 @ Miami. They don't cause last year's floor had other issues.

From the Mechanical Grip perspective, if they get the floor right, they should be able to get to Merc Level. They do have the same Mechanical grip as Merc.

No, they don't. They have the same rear suspension, that's it. Different setups of the same suspension will give you different mechanical grip level, not to mention other parts and characteristics of the car.

2nd stint has been horrible

[TLof]

VSC came too early, needed to extend the stint now. But the pace is horrible anyways

Aston Martin currently uses Mercedes-supplied engines, gearboxes, and rear suspension components so, on paper, Aston Martin can adapt the setups to match the Mechanical grip.

But with the current car they probably tried every single possible set-up... if nothing come from the factory then they will not improve even if they match the mechanical grip

Last year Aston Martin introduced multiple floor updates so they seems to know that the floor is key area to work on.... let's see what they bring at Imola

[mass_damper_enjoyer]

De La Rosa just said on Spanish DAZN that Aston does not have a exact date for the upcoming updates.

It might not be Imola...
