30hp might as well be on a bike.

30hp is a huge deficit. No amount of aero wizardry is closing that power gap.
That was the gap Renault had compared to Ferrari from 2010 to 2013.
And the V8-s were not as powerful as today's hybrids.

There's two concerns :

PU deficit they can work on it but will take time remembers me of 2015 with one and unique customer : McLaren, they at least need two teams if they want to be quickly in the game, like when they had RBR/RB !

Overweight issues...

That's not an optimal start of a season so far, time will tell if they had make good choices.

Wondering if the return of the rake is gonna work ?

I’m eager to see how all of this will turn out.

Sauber was on the weight limit at the beginning of 2022. Redbull went into the season with quite a bit of excess weight.


Who won the WDC+WCC by the end of the season and who finished P6 in the WCC, consistenly off more than 1 second? Weight doesnt really matter if you generate no load or/and castrate yourself by having a shorter car

Sauber was screwed when teams voted to raise the weight limit at the last moment, negating most of the weight advantage that Sauber had. It then only took 4-6 races for most teams to get their cars to the minimum weight.

We can only hope that Aston Martin can cut its weight that quickly, given the rumours that the car is significantly overweight at the present.
