Sounds like bunch of young capable people that need guidance.

fallows brought a lot of ideas over from redbull without knowing exactly how to develop them seems like the most likely scenerio

it's two years in a row they've created a good baseline car for start of the season. last year was exagerrated due to mercedes mclaren and ferarri not performing well.

just in season development has been horrendous. they've said they figured it out at hungary. but sounds like what they said for back end of last season

Yeah, wouldn't be surprised if they put forward a positive face to remove some of the external pressure. Not that I think they're doing that.

carlos miquel: newey between aston, williams or retirement. ferrari is out. if he continues aston is more likely - in that case will be alongside Alonso in 2026 (for some reason this needs to be said)

Nothing new really but it follows the general trend of the last few weeks which is a good thing I guess.

Williams would be a huge surprise. They're probably at least 2 years away from being organised enough to start thinking about building a car just to compete in the top 10 regularly.

The AM project has familiar faces, great facilities coming together, a works Honda deal and Fernando Alonso, who WILL win races.

What could Williams possibly offer? Part ownership is only worth anything if you can sell it. And AM can offer shares anyway. Probably in both the team and road going.

Also I think they can spread Newey over to the WEC project as well as road cars as side projects to keep him from getting bored. Williams can't quite offer that.

Miquel hinted mid september for real perfomance upgrades, so I guess the next 2 races will be another hard fight for P9 and 10...

Yes, a spanish journalist, maybe the most reliable source regarding AMR.

Makes sence...2 months (May 21 to July 21) for Hungarian upgrades, I would expect the next to fall around September 21st.

I'm surprised that when the words 'Aston Martin' and 'upgrades' are used in the same sentence, people still manage to be optimistic. It's quite inspiring to be honest.

Did Mercedes make a breakthrough or is the difference that FIA just allowed Mercedes to keep their floppy wing even though it looks like a bird of prey trying to take off when the car goes over the curb.
