Aston Martin boss Krack is not believing the hype surrounding his team after the Bahrain F1 test.
While the Aston was only the seventh fastest car on aggregated headline times over the three-day test, its consistent pace and a good long-run performance byHowever, when asked if expectations have now changed, Krack was keen to downplay the relevance of the strong testing form, comparing it to the disappointment the team encountered last year.
"I'll give you an example. Last year, we were P4, P4 and P10 over the three days, and we seem very similar now. "So I think for us, we must not lose our goals. Our goal was to make a step forward in the performance of the car, in the team. And this still remains our objective. If we manage it or not, we will see next week."Krack did acknowledge that the car looked good on long runs, although he suggested that track conditions were flattering.
