After three consecutive podium finishes in 2023, the Aston Martin F1 team is aiming for its first F1 victory. Aston Martin F1 team principal Mike Clack said: “I think there are still more magical courses to be had with this driver and this car.” He referred to Alonso.
The gap to Red Bull is between seven tenths and one tenth per lap, but Aston Martin is undoubtedly beating both Mercedes and Ferrari by nose. So it’s not that hard for Aston Martin F1 to think about the top step of the podium. But former F1 driver Timo Glock is still not convinced. “Baku has a lot of corners and also long straights where the Red Bull DRS effect comes into play,” Glock told Sky Deutschland. “In Baku I think Red Bull will be even more different than the other cars. The question is who will bring the first update and how it will be,” said Aston Martin F1 boss Mike Clack. , the first big chance to win may come in late May. “I’ll try in Monaco,” Mike Clack told DAZN when asked about his chances of winning the race. “We have a shortcoming on the very long straights. It’s no secret. We’re aware of it and we have to work a lot on it. “But on tracks where it’s less important, we have more confidence. “We have to be fast, we have to finish and we have to make no mistakes.” Acknowledge that they will push you to bring it up. “The car is good,” said Clack. “We were competitive in the first three races, so I think we can confirm that,” he said. “Now it’s a development race with other teams and it will be difficult to keep up with the big players. We are not fighting against a very big team, an experienced team with great infrastructure, but we will fight.”
