Team principal and CEO Andy Cowell set the stage for the anticipated race weekend by unveiling a new floor and top bodywork for the Aston Martin. Cowell emphasized the significance of these upgrades, highlighting their focus on enhancing the airflow around the rear tires to optimize performance on the track.
Alonso wasted no time in testing the new components and shared his insights following the qualifying session.
