Aston Martin looks to the coming years with an ambitious outlook. British engineer Tom McCullough feels the formation has once again made great strides this season, which it can benefit from in the new racing year.
Although Aston Martin was already aiming to be among the sub-top of the world championship this year, for now it is mainly fighting to get points. Sebastian Vettel is the driver who took the most points this season, while Lance Stroll was able to get into the points in six Grands Prix.
Towering ambitions from Aston Martin
A lot is changing for Aston Martin this coming season. For instance, it is saying goodbye to Vettel, who is leaving Formula 1, and welcoming Fernando Alonso. Together with the Spaniard, the racing stable hopes to achieve the following goal.
"We want to get to the front of the midfield pack and then start charging ahead," argues McCullough on its official website. "We tried to be aggressive as we could this year, but with the budget cap and resources available this has been difficult. There are parts that we would love to have made."
"For 2023, we've got to put all our ideas and learnings from this year together to deliver a significantly better car. It's all relative though, as every other team will be doing the same. We think the path we're now on is the right one, and we'll be able to iterate our 2023 car to consistently deliver more performance."
