Aston Martin has said it has to accept rival Formula 1 teams did 'a stronger job' in the 2023 development race as it continues to slip back.
Aston came flying out of the gates in Bahrain, with its lead driver Fernando Alonso racking up five podiums in the first six races. But over the summer the going got tougher for the Silverstone squad, with it especially slipping back on mixed corner circuits where aerodynamic efficiency comes at a premium, as Alonso was restricted to just one more podium in eight races.
But the squad now feels it has a good understanding of its weaknesses, so it can deliver a 2024 car that is more efficient and can be more competitive on circuits that combine severe downforce requirements with straightline speed and low-speed handling. 'The TD has had no impact on our performance,' McCullough added. 'I don't think they're significant. For us, it's more track characteristics and base development race that we're sort of fighting with.
