They also removed a little bit of drag with the latest upgrades. Thats how it should be, like Red Bull, they aren’t extremely strong in one one type of corners or something, they are good in everything. Thats better because you can be good at every track not just the type of tracks that suit the characteristics of the car. The AMR23 is know more efficient they still have the downforce, they were good in slow corners but they also were fast on the straights.
Rumors arose during the summer break that Aston Martin had dropped back because the front wing had to be improved at Barcelona & Silverstone. Apparently it bent too much. Most importantly, it bent in a different direction than most of the rivals wings. That fueled suspicion.
McCullough (chief engineer) maneuvered elegantly around a precise answer: "We changed the front wing philosophy a bit compared to the first part of the season. But that was part of the permanent development work."
In fact, the wing had a bit too much play at the connection to the nose. Reinforcement initially cost lap time, but was equalized again. Alonso's second place in the race confirmed Aston Martin in its latest development step.
From: https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/for ... ederlande/The car is now more stable in corners across the entire speed range. And you didn't have to sacrifice the DRS bonus for that. That creates confidence in the driver.
I don't understand why the FIA is doing this in season? They're literally changing the interpretation of the rules in season. Whereas it used to be "whatever passed the wing tests". To "their spirit of the rules".-wkst- wrote: ↑30 Aug 2023, 11:09Rearding flexi front wings:
