The Aston Martin front wing is giving a lot to talk about. He is giving a lot to talk about. First, due to the possible requirement of the FIA regarding this element. Second, due to the fact that neither Mike Krack nor Fernando Alonso confirmed or denied anything about this. And third, due to a possible drop in performance due to this since the Canadian GP.
Now, as if there were not enough, the statements of Pierre Waché, technical manager of Red Bull, have been added, who has pointed directly to this element of Fernando Alonso’s car.
“Aston Martin is playing with the flexion of the front wing,” he stated in words in ‘L’Equipe’.
“With this regulation…”
Of course, then he qualified: “With this regulation it is not like before. Perhaps, at the most, they will win a tenth.”
“These current rules limit us a lot. The front wing is no longer something that directly gives you performance, but it directs the airflow to the bottom of the car,” he says.
The AMR23, back from Canada
A lot of play is taking place on the subject of the Aston Martin front wing. For what is known, for what is not and for what is not said. For that supposed downturn in Fernando Alonso’s car, which is palpable from Canada.
Because since then, the AMR23 has gone from being at the top of the grid, no longer far behind Red Bull, to hovering around the fifth to ninth positions in the case of Fernando.
In Hungary, moreover, it was learned that it was not because of the conditions of the track, but that there was something else. In that sense, what was a strong point of the car, slow corner entry and exit as well as traction, ceased to be so.
It remains to be seen what happens in Zandvoort, when it seems Aston Martin will carry a good number of updates in the AMR23 to fight for 33.
