Aston Martin targeted by new FIA investigation for budget cap breach…

They say it is a « minor breach» but as it is another one following the one in 2022, I hope they don’t get a penalty that could compromise 2026..

Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought I read somewhere it’s only a procedural breach and they won’t face any financial penalties because the person who did the audit was sick and couldn’t sign it on time?

True it was a procedural issue (they didn’t actually overspend) but Aston Martin had to pay $450 k for that issue. I believe the signature story is speculative.

As for this current situation regarding the 2024 submissions, nothing has been confirmed yet ( they say it will be Aston Martin but not confirmed ) everyone’s waiting for the FIA to publish its findings.

Fingers crossed. We will see.

Ok let’s see but should be fine I hope. That interview with Enrico Cardile is really good. He comes off as such a chill humble dude that has a lot of respect for Adrian, Andy and co.

interesting that Alonso scrubbed the softs this weekend (two sets). Usually Aston does so only for the race sets, and it's probably unlikely that they can save them till Sunday.

This is one legacy procedure I hope goes away soon. Scrubbing the tyres does nothing to increase its longevity and eats practice time. I do not know why Aston Martin continue to do this year after year.

this weekend they seem to be particularly keen to do so, though. 10 minutes into FP3, both are now on their 5th set already.

If it doesn't work out, at least there will be one more reason to fire Krack.

Alonso’s first lap on mediums matched and beat Ferraris first lap on the mediums. Mmm not bad 6th fastest so far.

Listening to Cardile on the podcast I got the impression he’s the one evaluating if people like Krack are doing good enough. I guess we’ll find out next year if Krack is still there

Sheesh Aston is seriously draggy. Alonso is miles ahead of Lance by half a second but literally only two cars between them in 15th and 18th. While just slightly over half a second covers the top 15. Wild

From what both drivers said, we should not expect much from this weekend, it will a long test weekend for Aston.

Yup it’s Joeover. Hope they learn something useful for 2026 at least

He is not doing a fine job. That's it.
