Don't forget that the others (bar Haas) were locked in their original setups. It's highly likely that they were far from their potential, while Aston was able to make key changes after reviewing the data from the sessions. They had a huge advantage in terms of pure pace compared to the rest of the grid, especially when you consider teams like RB and Mercedes which usually make huge gains from Friday to Sunday.

1.6 seconds from the top is a proof. Updates don't workKimiRai wrote: ↑29 Oct 2023, 20:02Do you have any proof? If you have then you should email them! But if not then we cant say such things without any proof yet.
By the same reasoning, the Canadian package must have worked, the car was very fast that day. But we all saw what happened afterwards. You see how it's not that easy, otherwise everyone could become an F1 engineer.
I agree that it was strange, but there's a plausible explanation: Track temps were up in qualifying compared to FP3 in the parts of quali that Alex was in & everyone was slower than FP3, but Williams disproportionately so. We know it's a sensitive car when it comes to conditions - I don't see why this wouldn't be another case of that. If Alex had gone through to Q3 we might've seen their FP3 pace return as temperatures dropped for Q3OnEcRiTiCaL wrote: ↑29 Oct 2023, 21:09Albon at FP3 1.17 at Qualifying 1.19 without touching the car. Tell me why?Nobody knows.
The explanation is that they banned all the parts that Aston was good for, that's why it was good in Canada. So yes at the moment they are behaving like incompetentsKimiRai wrote: ↑29 Oct 2023, 20:49By the same reasoning, the Canadian package must have worked, the car was very fast that day.

The great minds behind the early AMR23 are now all posers, while the useless ones behind the early MCL60 are now all geniuses, according to popular perception. But they are more or less the same people in both cases. You see how perceptions change depending on the results, it's football mentality that doesn't work in F1.
It's comically bad. Literally the slowest car on the track.
