Aston Martin has taken a giant leap in terms of competitiveness this year. So much so that, at present, it is second in the Constructors’ World Championship with 102 points, six points ahead of its engine supplier – among other components – Mercedes.
Apart from mounting Star brand power units in its single-seaters, Aston Martin also gets the gearbox and rear suspension from them. In fact, because British Structure’s facilities are still under construction, they also have to use the Mercedes wind tunnel.
However, the Dane Fellows have admitted that they are really happy with the material they have received from Brackley. Furthermore, this indicates that the fact of being a client team at the moment is not hurting the track performance of their cars.
“We’re very happy with what we’ve got. We also have the gearbox, rear suspension and power unit. We obviously work at our limits as engineers, but so far I’ve got no idea how to get everything apart Haven’t got the reason we get it. We already get it from them”, he explained in words collected by RacingNews365.
“I don’t think that whatever we get from Mercedes is limiting our performance. Is any of that stopping us from achieving the goals we want to achieve? No, not at all, we Very happy with the relationship.”
On the other hand, the followers emphasize how happy they are to be customers of the German brand. However, it has been rumored in recent weeks that Aston Martin could be in talks with Honda, which is registered as one of the 2026 power unit suppliers but is still without a team. Similarly, the purpose of the Silverstone build for the time being is to continue improving the performance of the AMR23, according to the UK.
“I have been with the team for just over a year, but we have already come a long way and we are very focused on what we are trying to do in 2023. By 2024, my vision than, that the power units and gearbox aspect is something we’re very happy with. In many ways it’s quite gratifying not to worry about it. Now we’re very focused on the short term, then what will we focus on We can do it next year.” Commented to end.
