“The big talking point for the Hungarian Grand Prix is that the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team will introduce their chassis upgrade. We are working closely with them to support on the power unit integration aspects, making FP1 a very important session to check the functionalities.
The Hungaroring is less sensitive for the power unit, so we may be able to expect better performance despite not having our B-spec engine here. It’s also typically a warm race, so we will need to check the cooling elements too at the start of the weekend.”
🇬🇧 Aston Martin chief trackside officer Mike Krack also confirmed that both cars are expected to run the new specification in Hungary.
“Yeah, I think it’s quite extensive. The main things are obviously aerodynamic and weight. And to achieve that, you have to do a lot of things. And everything has been achieved that we wanted.
The period that we had now with no upgrades for very long is now over. So, it looks good for the future. And we are just all looking forward to Budapest and see what we have.”
