There was a lot to try the aston martin in Canada. A lot, in a very short time. Little time not to hold free practice 1. For free practice 1 which, between Gasly and the FIA itself, remained a few minutes from the 60 available. The disaster was such that Free Practice 2, to compensate, became an hour and a half with the rain still threatening.
One that arrived with about five minutes left before closing on Friday…but at Aston Martin, they were going against the clock. They left like that because they didn’t know when the water was coming, and because for Canada they had a new floor, a new engine cover and many other new things and improvements to try.
And for this, sensors and paraffin. The people at Silverstone were in such a hurry that in the garage they left a viral image on social networks.
Because to put paraffin you have to get the driver out of the car. But to lower the pilot you waste time. And it was going to be no… so they did something as simple as surreal.
It was directly covered with a Lance Ride Canvas as they put this substance on the chassis of the AMR23.
In the absence of Free 3, which has all the votes to be in the wet, Fernando Alonso’s Aston Martin and Lance Stroll’s finished fourth and ninth respectively. Between the two, almost four tenths.
