2024 Aston Martin | Aramco F1 Team

Looks like he used Austin floor all weekend.

Disagree.

Just before the race, Aston Martin had changed the specification of the floor on the cars, returning to the one rejected in Austin.[...]

After the free practice sessions [note: Sprint was basically a second free practice session], due to the excessive bouncing and the conditions of the asphalt, in view of the sprint it was decided to take a step back, returning once again to the most used specification throughout the year as it was the one that guaranteed the best indications, namely the Suzuka surface, which generates less rebounds and guarantees more confidence to the drivers. However, the two accidents in qualifying on Sunday morning pushed Aston Martin to change the surface again on both cars, returning precisely to the Austin specification.

“After this morning, we had to go back to a less performing package on the car. So the race was a bit slower in terms of pace on our side and then we had a problem with the brakes,” Alonso said after the race.

Not sure if it was already mentioned but according to Alonso they also had a brake issue. That probably caused Lance's spin into the wall. Many people have attacked Lance but he may have had no blame there, similar to Leclerc last year. At least for the spin, as beaching it on the gravel later was probably his fault.

Probably his fault the gravel? I mean lol

Mike Krack also confirmed that they had break issues. The break issue caused Stroll to go out of the track but ending after in the gravel was his fault…

Krack also admits more patience is required while the car’s current performance remains challenging.

We need a huge amount of patience. The big preoccupation is that Alonso is open to win the title as a manager at Aston and not as driver. Very sad to hear after the years pushing… Oremos

Yeah, I had already read that,wouldn't be the first time a reputable site got things wrong and I found pictures on Motorsport. It wouldn't be the first time they dated pictures incorrectly too.

The most scare thing is how huge is the downgrade proposing by the Austin's package, that completely made AMR24 absolute impossible to drive.I think was the most terrible upgrades they even brought. Why they didn change the front suspension if this is the main problem? what a motive to not change?

Both the sprint ones and the ones you sent exactly the same two identical photos. In my opinion they used Suzuka in fp1 and it was fine, since the sprint wasn't very interesting they did two test sessions in sprint quali and sprint race, seeing the results they returned again to Suzuka and in fact Alonso in quali he was flying, after the damage they were forced to return to Austin. This is what I think and what I have deduced, I am ready to be proven wrong

I watched Piastri's onboard. It was pretty bumpy too. It's not the car it's the track.

I think that there is a connection between the Mercedes rear suspension and the problems that both teams have. Both Alonso and Hamilton complained about back pain this weekend. Is this not suspicious to you?
