Aston Martin’s Big Chassis Bet | F1 News

Aston Martin’s big B-spec chassis upgrade hits the Hungaroring this weekend, promising major aerodynamic tweaks and weight loss to finally turn their season around — but don’t expect miracles. After a brutal Spa weekend where both drivers started from the back row, the team hopes this overhaul sets them on the right path, with engine updates to follow in August. Fernando Alonso keeps expectations grounded, stressing that closing a massive gap won’t happen overnight — even with the new car, they’re still likely to lose time. While some teammates like Sergio Perez are optimistic, Aston’s chief trackside officer Mike Krack admits it’ll take time to fully unlock the upgrade’s potential, especially without winter testing. This is less about instant results and more about laying the foundation for a stronger future. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
