Aston Martin verschiebt offizielle F1-Auto-Upgrades auf den Sommer

Aston Martin ist nach wie vor das einzige Formel-1-Team, das seit dem Großen Preis von Japan im März keine größeren Upgrades an seinem Auto vorgenommen hat. Das Team plant, bedeutende Aktualisierungen frühestens im Juli einzuführen.

Der von Adrian Newey entworfene AMR26 hatte bisher Mühe, im Wettbewerb mit Cadillac am Ende des Feldes Leistung zu zeigen. Zuverlässigkeitsprobleme haben die Ergebnisse ebenfalls beeinträchtigt, obwohl das Team von Verbesserungen berichtet. Fernando Alonso erzielte die besten Ergebnisse des Rennstalls mit einem 16. Platz im Sprint-Qualifying beim Großen Preis von Kanada und jeweils einem 15. Platz in den beiden Miami-Rennen.
