I'm pretty sure they made a lot of upgrades. The question is why we didn't seen them? Since Canada (after Monaco) Aston changed the front wing concept because of FIA. After the upgrades just didn't came. How I know the reason is was ,because those upgrades only was working with the old front wing . Since they not allowed to use the old front wing concept, they couldn't use the upgrades also.

Aside from the Canada upgrades, that were manufactured at the old plant, we've really just seen the tweak to the Canadian upgrade side pods. Everything else we've seen is sight specific (cooling related), brake duct or FIA mandated.

Am I wrong?

I was under the impression that the Zandvoort floor was entirely new although going back more towards pre-canada ideas

I think it was just the undercut of the sidepod. The floor fences Didn't change and naturally we have no clue if the actual floor did. I don't think it was listed.

New floor body, floor fences and floor edge were brought for Zandvoort

There were definitely changes to the floor fences. They also listed changes to the floor body and floor edge, so I believe it was an entirely new floor not just modifications

Really? By body you mean the whole undercarriage? If that's true it sucks.

As I wrote in the summer (Michael Schmidt after Zandvoort): its more of a going back to the previous spec than a real upgrade to the floor body.

A suspension maybe?

It's taken a week to get to "may have contravened". Think by now they'd know which rule he broke?

We saw the videos. FIA could be asking for more info from AM on what happened.

These all quite well be just speculations or rumors -

What's interesting to discuss, is Lawrence's position if Lance decided to quit F1 at the end of this season.

Sensible to announce him leaving early to get a better price for the team?

[diffuser]

This is all pure speculation, with 0 facts to back it up. Not sure why we even entertain these stories.

We don't know what Lance wants to do if he leaves F1. He may want to take over the team. We don't know if he goes to play tennis if his dad likes what he's doing and wants to keep doing it. Sure he didn't sell Hugo Boss cause Lance started bowling.

Even if he did sell. Sure Andretti would buy it in a heart beat.

Rumour is Geely may acquire Aston Martin and have Zhou as team mate for Alonso in 2025.
