2025 Aston Martin | Aramco F1 Team

I'm happy with the results. Also because I think it's the first time the team has functioned as such. At Silverstone, the team was idling; at Spa, it was a disaster, also influenced by external factors; but in Hungary, it seemed like they were making the most of their options. And Lance, after that tantrum, is driving well.

The car doesn't seem like the last cold Coca-Cola in the desert. And I'm worried that it's still almost unpredictable in its behavior. But I guess I have a good seat to watch the creation of a good F1 team. I hope so.

I'm also very happy for Fernando. Because he deserves a sweet ending to his epic journey with AM. And these little joys help make the wait seem shorter.

Seems like a trend to me. There was a "Silverstone update". Double points finish in Silverstone. Anomaly at Spa because of sprint weekend and Eau Rouge ground clearance. Double points in Hungary.

So the "Eau Rouge ground clearance" statement is very interesting. In Hungry, even when Alonso was going all out he was coming off the throttle early down the start finish straight. Duriing the race, I just thought he was STILL lifting coasting... When you combine that with Russell's statement "That braking at top speed down the start/finish straight in Hungry was where the plank got most consumed...". It starts to paint a picture of where their problems are/have been.

Hungary teams always underfuel so likely normal lift and coasting. With no safety cars it makes sense. Alonso did some lift and coast.

He had done lift coast on the last 10 laps or so on the mediums specifically to have fuel to run high power STRATs on hard, Alonso and his Engineer talked about it in the onboards. In fact he was doing lift & coast into turn 1 under STRAT 11, which is "Hammer Time" mode.

except for TP since Andy is on a temporary assignment.

No, he isn't. He wanted to flatten the structure and combine the CEO and TP role, like Wolff or Horner/Mekies.
