Aston Martin boss Mike Krack claims that due to the busy racing calendar it is currently very difficult to optimize the car’s performance.
After the Spanish Grand Prix, in which Aston Martin did not score any points, Fernando Alonso urged his team to urgently start work on improving the current car, labeled AMR24.
“We can’t be too frustrated. It’s time to work harder, talk less and work more. That’s what we want to do,” Alonso said specifically.
Although the team management from Silverstone does not deny that there is a need to work on the current single-seater (mainly to get rid of understeer in the middle of long corners), they also point out that it is not easy to look for quick solutions now.
Reason? Busy schedule.
“There are now five races in six weeks, which is one of the problems… In Monaco, in Imola, but also in Canada, we have learned about our problems, but it is about solving them. However, there is no time,” explained the head of Aston Martin Mike Krack, whose words are quoted by Autosport.
“So we have to persevere, get the best out of the car every weekend and then put on new parts as soon as possible,” added the Luxembourger.
And even though Aston Martin has had problems in the recent past with the optimization of new features, which often resulted in slowdowns rather than accelerations, the team believes that the upcoming upgrades will work from the start.
“I am positive from what I have seen. Because we understand the problems better than before. This also gives us self-confidence when looking to the future,” Krack pointed out.
“We will continue to deploy new parts as they become available, starting with the nearest races. So we should not only focus on the race in Budapest (it is scheduled 14 days after the home race in Silverstone, editor’s note), but we should strive for even faster improvement,” added the Aston Martin boss.
