The 2024 Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix is proving to be a reality check for Aston Martin, with one statistic that shows it.
The 2024 Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix is proving to be a reality check for Aston Martin . Fernando Alonso failed to get past P15, the final position in Q2, while Lance Stroll was eliminated in Q1 in P17 ahead of Logan Sargeant and the two Kick Sauber drivers.has had a difficult run since Imola. The last few Grands Prix have been particularly difficult for them. In qualifying in Austria, the Silverstone-based team has been given another harsh reality check on its performance.
Firstly, let’s look at the difference in lap times. In this sense, already in the first sector the AMR24 loses +0.117s compared to last season’s lap at the Red Bull Ring. But the differences shoot up dramatically in the last two sectors. As we can see in the speed comparison, in the first sector where there is only one corner, the AMR23 manages to brake later at the end of the finish line straight and gets a better corner entry and very good traction on exit, which already raises the delta to just under two tenths. Top speeds are very similar with no noticeable difference between 2023 and 2024.
And finally, it is on the entry to Turn 9 with much more speed and the exit of Turn 10 before the finish line straight where the AMR23 gets in with much more traction and another more than two-tenths of a second are lost.
