Aston Martin F1 Boss Reveals Extensive To-Do List for AMR25: “Many Areas to Work On”
Aston Martin’s CEO and team principal, Andy Cowell, has shed light on the numerous challenges they are facing with the AMR25 Formula 1 car. Despite Lance Stroll’s commendable performance in securing 10 points for the team, his teammate Fernando Alonso’s struggles have left the team grappling at the bottom of the standings.
Speaking ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix, Cowell emphasized the fierce competition in the midfield, where even the smallest adjustments can make a significant difference in performance. He stressed the importance of qualifying well due to the car’s preference for running in clean air rather than in the wake of another car.
Cowell admitted that while there have been positive developments since the winter, the team’s ultimate goal is to win, which means there is always room for improvement. He acknowledged that the task list to enhance the AMR25 is extensive and covers a wide range of areas that require attention.
When pressed about specific issues, Cowell expressed the need to address every visible problem systematically. He highlighted the necessity of distributing resources effectively to tackle each aspect contributing to the team’s overall performance. The ongoing efforts to enhance tools and methodologies are not only aimed at immediate gains but are also part of a long-term strategy that extends to 2026.
With Stroll’s 10 points, Aston Martin currently occupies the seventh spot in the constructors’ championship, trailing Haas by a small margin. Despite the challenges, the team is determined to address all issues comprehensively and elevate their performance in the highly competitive Formula 1 landscape.
