You can’t take day 1/2 results to compare as the track was nowhere like last year, day 3 was the only day in testing where it was slightly comparable to last year and we where slower than last year.Nikosar wrote: ↑01 Mar 2025, 07:04After day two they were happy with Aston.

So one “bad” and “good” day is enough for them to change opinions.
Fact is that we improved by -0,9 sec compared to 2024 test. Better then Ferrari -0,54 sec and Mercedes -0,8 sec.
Undoubtedly the team already made a progress. This the true goal for 2025 keep slowly build momentum and improve.
I know you all hyped for Neway, he is the best and a legend of the sport but as Cowell said : “It won’t be a one man show”

I agree. There will be no point in focusing on 2026 if there is an obscure problem, which could end 2026 as wellGoranF1 wrote: ↑01 Mar 2025, 14:061.

2. They need to find out what they are doing wrong since start of 2023 to now before they can focus on 2026 so Newey must look into this car a structure that is in place to see what is going on.
