Aston Martin is ready to evaluate whether it needs to rethink its wing choice in order to counter Red Bull's massive top speed edge in F1 this season.
Aston Martin believes the stark difference between the two cars is down to their choice of wing levels, with Red Bull having been aggressive early in the campaign in rolling out a lower downforce/drag specification than the opposition for Saudi, and this has especially proved beneficial when DRS is open.
However, having taken notice of the car characteristics over the first two races, Aston Martin says it will re-evaluate its plans after this weekend’s race in Melbourne to work out if it needs to change approach. “I can't stress the cost cap thing enough. It's very easy to sit and say: “I'll make seven or eight different rear wings to be globally optimised for qualifying with DRS and racing.”Lance Stroll, Aston Martin AMR23McCullough explained that, while in Bahrain there were some set-up choices that Aston Martin made to add downforce for improved tyre management, in Saudi Arabia it was obvious that the gap between his squad and Red Bull was about overall wing philosophy.
