Alonso will test the new parts on Saturday
Aston Martin decided to test the new parts, which are floor, diffuser and engine cover in Lance Stroll’s car and Alonso will have them in the Free 3 on Saturday (4.30 hours) in Suzuka. He will have to rely on the team’s data and his intuition for the rest of the weekend. “It’s not good for us, because it was Lance who had gone out in the morning with the sensor grid and it will make it more difficult for us to understand the new package,” Peter certificate of the rose from the green box on DAZN F1. “In any case, it is the same for everyone,” he pointed out.
“Hay many different parts, but it does not represent a radical change in the car, but this day was going to help us quantify the improvement,” added Pedro, who points out that the rain forecast “continues all weekend. Some say more on Saturday and others on Sunday. Both cars will have new parts tomorrow,” De la Rosa revealed.
Ferrari, good feelings
In what is pure performance, everything must be trusted to what was seen in the morning, with a dry track. when, Caros Sainz was two tenths behind Verstappen and less than half a tenth behind Checo Pérez, following an extraordinary return. “They are going very strong and their times were going with full tanks,” Pedro observed from the pits regarding his competition.
For Aston Martin will in principle be a fight to the thousandth with Mercedes, as in the last appointments, but perhaps far from McLaren. In the case of Carlos can dream of everything, waiting for that Verstappen say the opposite.
