@tHebUm18 You clearly explained this. I might add that ever since AM got called to the carpet by the FIA for a front "flexi wing", they have never bounced back from that. A flexi front wing is worth three tenths, sometimes more. Also, McLaren's Lead Aerodynamicist was Neweys understudy for years. Hence McLarens amazing strides. Meanwhile Aston has been using Mercedes' wind tunnel and suffered many of the same correlation issus over the same time period.

Aston Martin is the NBA Miami Heat of racing. When the Heat acquired LeBron James, with Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosch, they basically had an All-Star team with LeBron and Wade declaring "we just not gonna win one championship, two, three, four...." implying they will win multiple. Aston Martin acquired some All-Stars from rivals, including Dan Fallows from Red Bull, Eric Blandin from Mercedes, Andy Cowell from Mercedes, Enrico Cardile from Ferrari, among others and waiting in the wing is design guru Newey. Does Aston Martin have too many Chefs in the kitchen and not enough cooks?
Who exactly posts these sorts of comments? I see way more "He needs to get rid of Lance" posts then those and frankly, they don't exist whenever I look around.
That should be dead after Mike Krack's comments this season. They pretty much admitted the team is built for and around Lance. So anything the team says about considering other options can no longer be trusted now imo.
Thing is with Toyota, that was typical Corporation ignorance (Down to the stereotypical closeminded "Our way or no way" nonsense, which has never gone horribly wrong....)
The problem is: Lawrence Stroll is only in this to make Lance a World Champion. That is almost certainly an impossibility unless all other teams bring literal tractors to the race track in 2026. So what is Lawrence going to do when reality sets in? And how long will this farce keep going? Can he really get 1000 highly paid employees to give their best while he refuses to hire the best drivers to make the most of what his factory turns out?
As far as I know Lawrence doesn’t own majority in the team anymore. In the consortiums eyes I think he’s not doing bad enough to justify kicking him. I agree that he should explore other options in 2026. He could do well in WEC. I have no doubt there will be too many cooks in the kitchen for Lawrence to be able to convince anyone when Honda arrive.

Stroll is a massive part of the problem, though. Only a Canadian would suggest otherwise! Stroll has the most underserving seat in F1 next to Latifi, Mazepin and Sargant. And no, his F3 championship bought by his dad back then by buying the team marred in controversy doesn't really make the buck for an F1 seat - skipping F2 entirely. 292 points over 157 races, not one single win and highest third finish. His failure to acknowledge his own mistakes and outright poor awareness levels leading to crashes repeatedly over several years (Safety Car crash this year, swerving into drivers passing him, for example). You could give him the fastest car by a country mile, he's not cutting the first driver material some strange fans of him seem to think he's worthy of. Even AM's Mike Krack explicitly said the team was built around Stroll. This mentality is what will cost them when they have WDC winners racing for them and being used as a thought box over prioritising and maximising their carry of points for the team.
The summary of all this is that in general Aston Martin's potential is there and it is one of the strongest on the grid today. The problem is that to date they have not found an effective way to unleash all that incredible potential they have. Hopefully, when they have all the new generation factories in operation, they will make a big jump. Because, as I have already said, the potential is there and is clearly visible.
lance stroll's podium and pole don't mean anything : 15 cars retired for his podium and the pole was due to the session being cancelled because of rain. He's by far the worst driver on the field, and given his 7 years experience that makes him even worse than sargeant. Any driver physically assaulting his coach would be fired in the minute, same goes for his "performance". Without even comparing him to alonso.
@@heaveniwnl You're lying though so how are they facts? Now, would you like a tissue? If you can share documented proof of your bs then please send it🤣🤣🤣
- He has 3 podiums not 1, (none of which required 15 DNF’s) - The session wasn’t cancelled he simply out drove everyone on a very slippery/greasy track. - Not even close to “by far the worst driver” considering how Perez is this year. - Shoving his trainer was a very bad look so not much else to say. - Since China he’s been pretty close to or beating Alonso relative to the cars pace.

I respect every driver who drives these ridiculous and amazing cars/beasts whether it's Lance, Logan or anyone because it's not easy to do so. But the fact is that their are better drivers who are f2 champions or reserve drivers who deserve a chance. This doesn't mean these guys should retire and end their racing careers. Their are races and teams out their who would love to have an f1 experienced driver behind the wheel and these guys might even become champions there. So it's not that Stroll is a bad driver, it's just that in the same car there are drivers who could generate good results. If Honda says they want Yuki at Aston, then would they dip Lance or a 2 time world champion?
I don't get all the hate for Lance. He's a decent (not great=Botas, or lousy=Sangent) # two driver. He's pretty equal to what the team is capable of, and I believe if the car was better, Lance would be too.

@Ciridan Ferrari and McLaren have won races,got podiums and have been/are title contenders since he left. Renault is French so they are a mess no matter what
To be fair, they said "contenders" and not "winners". McLaren were in the hunt during the 2010-2012 seasons, and Ferrari had a title shot in 2017 and 2018. You can argue that Alonso would have gotten more out of those cars than the drivers who actually drove them at those times and potentially pushed the likes of Red Bull and Merc a lot harder. Even Renault - as Lotus - had a regular podium-finishing car in 2012/2013 that won 2x races which was a huge improvement on their post-Alonso era performance
@@richardm5664lmao no. Alonso only almost won 2010 and 2012 because he got lucky with reliability issues for other drivers. Not because he was better. He made as many or more mistakes. He lost 2007 in the best car to his rookie teammate and to a Ferrari driver in a slower car with more reliability issues. The Alonso delusions need to stop. McLaren and Ferrari probably wouldn’t have even been capable of developing a fast car with how toxic he was. He’s the primary reason why Honda left McLaren.
I'm struggling to understand the AMR structure. You've got a bunch of people who report to a load of 'leaders' when really it's Krack or Lawrence calling all the shots. I don't think Lawrence Stroll is the right person to turn this from midfielders into contenders - he's a fashion businessman, not a racer. You can't take what worked in his realm into F1, they're very different demands. Not to mention the fact that just because you hire big names on the technical team doesn't mean they'll all gel. It feels like a team led by cynicism and nepotism - both Lawrence and Lance need to leave if Aston are to be taken seriously. I hope Adrian Newey says no to whatever money is thrown at him.
Disagree on Lance Stroll. He's a perfectly fine second driver for a team like this. I feel he always get overly criticized because he's there coming from privilege, not merit; but that's an emotional argument. If he gets similar results as other second drivers - and he does - it doesn't matter if he's privileged or not.
If 2026 will be Aston's 6th season then in 2023, in their 3rd season they achieved their goal of being a front-runner (They were 2nd for the first half)
If Aston start winning with BIG difference between the other teams we know Flavio Briatore are in the background with his clever cheats to make Aston Martin perform better.
@@rsf1kirito483 it’s a money pit to him… y would he want to? Lance is the ONLY reason he is all in on them… If lance left today, he would sell tomorrow
Why is there never any mention of the sub-optimal correlation between wind tunnel and actual performance that teams using the old Toyota wind tunnel have seen? Mercedes had the same issue and also use that wind tunnel don't they?
It doesnt matter what Aston Martin does or throws at the car ... while they have Lance in a seat , its not going anywhere ... they rely far too much on his input and because of that the car will never be good enough. As for Newey , there is no doubt in his design brilliance ... its clear from this years Red Bull , he isnt infallible and just having him on the team designing the car again doesnt mean they will automatically be fast. Red Bull are struggling this year with a car that is no where near as good as last years and Newey doesnt seem to be able to fix his design woes
Aston really went from overachieving with the small amount of resources they had to underachieving with the same resources as the big teams.. get the old force India squad together
They'll never be taken seriously or be able to be a genuine competitor until they get rid of Stroll and have 2 real drivers, doesn't matter how much money you plow in you can't win a championship when one of your drivers is just dead weight as Perez is trying his hardest to prove (and he's significantly better than Stroll).
i wish lance would take f1 more seriously because when he’s good he’s good and i think he has a lot more potential if he just tried harder. so he comes across as arrogant and uninterested.
So they came out the blocks flying in 2023, and they didnt have then their new wind tunnel or fancy buildings finished, so we cant use that excuse why they dropped off, so surely its a development issue. The basic car was there, they stuffed up the development pathway and went backwards.
If Jos bullies Max into signing to AM for 26 The Daddy Stroll would drop Alonso in a heartbeat! There is noway in heck he would drop his boy because the project is all about Lance (unless Max signs then it'll be all about Max!)
They are using licensed footage from teams' filming days, what they cannot show is footage from the races. Sometimes they use the F1 game to simulate that. 😄
Alonso has been a controversial figure but teams have tolerated (to an extent) his antics because of his skill. Ricciardo had lost his mojo but got a second chance, firstly because of the skill he had demonstrated, but also because of the marketing potential he has. Stroll has one of the worst attitudes on the grid, has zero marketing potential because of it and is certainly not a driver who performs miracles at the wheel to overshadow that negative trait. The fact that every team member knows that only one driver can extract the maximum out of their car consistently, costing the team points and personell any potential WCC position bonus, at a time when F1 teams simply do not pay enough relative to the workload and ingenuity that goes into those cars. If that wasn't enough Lance Stroll paints the picture that he is never at fault so what motivation, other than pure passion would an "average" Engineer or Mechanic have to justify the long hours they put in with the benefits they get?
i am still mad at Honda for leaving F1, and then coming back only to deliver engines for Aston Martin, it´s sad that the LEGENDATY Fernando Alonso is "trapped" in that team with a spoiled brat and his dad.
Aston Martin limiting factor is Fernando Alonso and lance Stroll, Fernando keep saying this was his best weekend like he always does even when he is 3 tenths slower than lance stroll in Austria after lance made a last corner mistake. Fernando does zero development work as usual like his alpine and McLaren days which mean they have to rely on daddy Stroll for feedback
Pretending that you can compare Lance's driving to Alonso's is the real problem with AMR. Stop lying to yourself, if Lance is ever faster than Fernando, its because Lance demanded that it appear that way. Lance's only real competition left when Nikita Mazepin was banned. I'd even take Logan Sergeant over Stroll if they had equal machinery
Given the Cost Cap, I honestly don't understand how Aston Martin can seemingly spend 100's of millions of pounds on new facilities, and yet we hear a lot from Williams about how they want "allowances" so that they can spend big too, to upgrade their own facilities? Would love to see a video explaining this! 🤞
The Race, the channel of F1 pit wall speculation and gossip, but wants to let you know they *think* there are misconceptions about a billion-dollar funded F1 team with a $230M (USD) state-of-the-art wind tunnel facility failing. Aramco obviously pay _very_ well.
I suspect those transplants are there for the big payday. I doubt Lawrence will inspire some organic effort to make a championship team. Also, does anyone buy an Aston Martin because of Lance?
You didn't press home the point of AM's clown of a number 2 driver. Nepotism rules and is the only reason Lawrence Stroll bought AM. Lawrence Stroll seems to think he can 'bull' his way into F1 and automatically win a championship. Ain't going to happen.
The number 2 drivers is irrelevant. Redbull had Webber and Perez. Mercedes had Bottas. Ferrari had Barrichello. None of those drivers are capable of winning the title even with a dominant car. Stroll doesn’t deserve a WDC seat but he deserves a seat in F1. His on track results are better than Hulkenberg.
Thank you. Where have these people been? Lance has some talent, but he's not an F1 level driver. Its not even debatable, he's a nepo baby and daddy won't let him fail
Wow Andy cowell is back 😐 quite literally the most successful engine guru, BMW most powerful engine, best V10 and than V8 and 2014 V6. Andy is bigger than Adrian

@@RACECAR The contract announcements are so cringe. It’s like having a press release where your parents confirm you will continue to receive your allowance.

Going to be interesting to see what the next excuse is after the new wind tunnel doesn't improve their standing on the grid.
They'll be championship contenders as soon as alonso leaves. That's the history of the alonso
Yes because Renault, Ferrari and McLaren have all won so much since he left...
@Ciridan Ferrari and McLaren have won races,got podiums and have been/are title contenders since he left. Renault is French so they are a mess no matter what
To be fair, they said "contenders" and not "winners". McLaren were in the hunt during the 2010-2012 seasons, and Ferrari had a title shot in 2017 and 2018. You can argue that Alonso would have gotten more out of those cars than the drivers who actually drove them at those times and potentially pushed the likes of Red Bull and Merc a lot harder. Even Renault - as Lotus - had a regular podium-finishing car in 2012/2013 that won 2x races which was a huge improvement on their post-Alonso era performance
@@richardm5664lmao no. Alonso only almost won 2010 and 2012 because he got lucky with reliability issues for other drivers. Not because he was better.
He made as many or more mistakes. He lost 2007 in the best car to his rookie teammate and to a Ferrari driver in a slower car with more reliability issues.
The Alonso delusions need to stop. McLaren and Ferrari probably wouldn’t have even been capable of developing a fast car with how toxic he was.
He’s the primary reason why Honda left McLaren.
The fact that strolls son is driving one of the cars shows he is not really there for investment return.
I'm struggling to understand the AMR structure. You've got a bunch of people who report to a load of 'leaders' when really it's Krack or Lawrence calling all the shots. I don't think Lawrence Stroll is the right person to turn this from midfielders into contenders - he's a fashion businessman, not a racer. You can't take what worked in his realm into F1, they're very different demands. Not to mention the fact that just because you hire big names on the technical team doesn't mean they'll all gel. It feels like a team led by cynicism and nepotism - both Lawrence and Lance need to leave if Aston are to be taken seriously. I hope Adrian Newey says no to whatever money is thrown at him.
Disagree on Lance Stroll. He's a perfectly fine second driver for a team like this. I feel he always get overly criticized because he's there coming from privilege, not merit; but that's an emotional argument. If he gets similar results as other second drivers - and he does - it doesn't matter if he's privileged or not.
Stroll has never outscored his teammate over a season. He's a bum
Outscored Sirotkin 6-1 in 2018, (granted that Williams was abysmal).
A quick google search doesn’t take very long.
The engine feels good. Much slower than before. Amazing
Give Lawrence respect for saving so many jobs from racing point
If 2026 will be Aston's 6th season then in 2023, in their 3rd season they achieved their goal of being a front-runner (They were 2nd for the first half)
Damn. That Lance Stroll career f1 results chart says it all😂. Did he really DNF thát much?
Statistically, Alonso is more likely to DNF than Stroll. His DNF percentage is 19% higher than Stroll's.
If Aston start winning with BIG difference between the other teams we know Flavio Briatore are in the background with his clever cheats to make Aston Martin perform better.
Come on Aston Martin
Straw you are comfortably the best take of formula 1
He won’t ever sell the company… Or at least not until his son has finished his racing career.
If he did, last would be out of Formula One instantly
Or he could still be owner of team and continue building up F1 team
@@rsf1kirito483 it’s a money pit to him… y would he want to?
Lance is the ONLY reason he is all in on them…
If lance left today, he would sell tomorrow
Nice video photo btw!
You have to add the name of the sponsor for this video… 😂😂
Why is there never any mention of the sub-optimal correlation between wind tunnel and actual performance that teams using the old Toyota wind tunnel have seen? Mercedes had the same issue and also use that wind tunnel don't they?
Basically they just can’t have a consistent dev program and timeline?
A team that puts Lance Stroll in one of its seats is not really serious about winning championships.
It doesnt matter what Aston Martin does or throws at the car ... while they have Lance in a seat , its not going anywhere ... they rely far too much on his input and because of that the car will never be good enough.
As for Newey , there is no doubt in his design brilliance ... its clear from this years Red Bull , he isnt infallible and just having him on the team designing the car again doesnt mean they will automatically be fast.
Red Bull are struggling this year with a car that is no where near as good as last years and Newey doesnt seem to be able to fix his design woes
Misconception #1: Lance Stroll isn't dragging Aston Martin down....😂
Aston Martin got wrong with it's drivers lineup, they should reshuffle it with new one.
I am so early I might be a bot
Aston really went from overachieving with the small amount of resources they had to underachieving with the same resources as the big teams.. get the old force India squad together
Give the team time. Red Bull took years before becoming a dominant force in the early 2010’s
Lawrence's businessman side has to overtake his fatherly side. His son is the one hindering.
Keep it banging!
Mike Krack....sorry i lost it at that.
At some point in the not too distant future, Daddy's money and patience are going to run out.
Aston martin would and should have finished forth last season but stroll is good for a team between 7th and 9th place
3to 5 years for me to give up Corona. Lmao.
Its a team in the process of building, learn about the sport kids
Intentionally or not this so comes off as some sort of advert
The Strolls must love mike Krack
Ouch. The AM team just unsubscribed.
Truth
Really?
75 percent not too shabby?
They'll never be taken seriously or be able to be a genuine competitor until they get rid of Stroll and have 2 real drivers, doesn't matter how much money you plow in you can't win a championship when one of your drivers is just dead weight as Perez is trying his hardest to prove (and he's significantly better than Stroll).
i wish lance would take f1 more seriously because when he’s good he’s good and i think he has a lot more potential if he just tried harder. so he comes across as arrogant and uninterested.
remember when alonso said he wouldnt join merc because he thought it would be a step back......ha
Can't wait for all this to come together then Honda give them a dud to power the thing.
Never gonna be a serious contender when one seat will always be for Daddy’s Boy™️.
So they came out the blocks flying in 2023, and they didnt have then their new wind tunnel or fancy buildings finished, so we cant use that excuse why they dropped off, so surely its a development issue. The basic car was there, they stuffed up the development pathway and went backwards.
If Jos bullies Max into signing to AM for 26 The Daddy Stroll would drop Alonso in a heartbeat! There is noway in heck he would drop his boy because the project is all about Lance (unless Max signs then it'll be all about Max!)
What's vector braking?
I’ll car about Aston Martin once Stroll has sold it.
Is alonso past it?

How are you managing to dodge the F1 Copyright bullshit?
They are using licensed footage from teams' filming days, what they cannot show is footage from the races. Sometimes they use the F1 game to simulate that. 😄
Alonso has been a controversial figure but teams have tolerated (to an extent) his antics because of his skill. Ricciardo had lost his mojo but got a second chance, firstly because of the skill he had demonstrated, but also because of the marketing potential he has. Stroll has one of the worst attitudes on the grid, has zero marketing potential because of it and is certainly not a driver who performs miracles at the wheel to overshadow that negative trait.
The fact that every team member knows that only one driver can extract the maximum out of their car consistently, costing the team points and personell any potential WCC position bonus, at a time when F1 teams simply do not pay enough relative to the workload and ingenuity that goes into those cars. If that wasn't enough Lance Stroll paints the picture that he is never at fault so what motivation, other than pure passion would an "average" Engineer or Mechanic have to justify the long hours they put in with the benefits they get?
i am still mad at Honda for leaving F1, and then coming back only to deliver engines for Aston Martin, it´s sad that the LEGENDATY Fernando Alonso is "trapped" in that team with a spoiled brat and his dad.
“The good news is that there’s a reason for that” - they have no idea what they are doing..yay
Mike Krack is on top ... everyone is under Mike Krack.
Number 1 misconcept? Bottas would be a major step in the right direction and a much younger driver than Father Time alonso.
I actually wouldn't be mad at that once Alonso left.
Any money if Adrian Newey joins Aston, Dan Fallows leaves
Get rid of stroll for a start
Aston Martin limiting factor is Fernando Alonso and lance Stroll, Fernando keep saying this was his best weekend like he always does even when he is 3 tenths slower than lance stroll in Austria after lance made a last corner mistake.
Fernando does zero development work as usual like his alpine and McLaren days which mean they have to rely on daddy Stroll for feedback
Pretending that you can compare Lance's driving to Alonso's is the real problem with AMR. Stop lying to yourself, if Lance is ever faster than Fernando, its because Lance demanded that it appear that way. Lance's only real competition left when Nikita Mazepin was banned. I'd even take Logan Sergeant over Stroll if they had equal machinery
@@jebidiahcarlyon3543that’s objectively not true but ok.
@@jebidiahcarlyon3543 lance stroll is a decent driver when he is motivated to do well

Given the Cost Cap, I honestly don't understand how Aston Martin can seemingly spend 100's of millions of pounds on new facilities, and yet we hear a lot from Williams about how they want "allowances" so that they can spend big too, to upgrade their own facilities? Would love to see a video explaining this! 🤞
The Race, the channel of F1 pit wall speculation and gossip, but wants to let you know they *think* there are misconceptions about a billion-dollar funded F1 team with a $230M (USD) state-of-the-art wind tunnel facility failing. Aramco obviously pay _very_ well.
I suspect those transplants are there for the big payday. I doubt Lawrence will inspire some organic effort to make a championship team. Also, does anyone buy an Aston Martin because of Lance?
They can copy a car but they can't develop a car.
The name is Lance, Lance Struggle
You didn't press home the point of AM's clown of a number 2 driver. Nepotism rules and is the only reason Lawrence Stroll bought AM. Lawrence Stroll seems to think he can 'bull' his way into F1 and automatically win a championship. Ain't going to happen.
how did you even make that judgement when you didnt have enough time to watch the full video and get to the point where they did mention lance
The number 2 drivers is irrelevant. Redbull had Webber and Perez. Mercedes had Bottas. Ferrari had Barrichello.
None of those drivers are capable of winning the title even with a dominant car.
Stroll doesn’t deserve a WDC seat but he deserves a seat in F1. His on track results are better than Hulkenberg.
Thank you. Where have these people been? Lance has some talent, but he's not an F1 level driver. Its not even debatable, he's a nepo baby and daddy won't let him fail
They do talk about that, did you quit halfway the video?
Wow Andy cowell is back 😐 quite literally the most successful engine guru, BMW most powerful engine, best V10 and than V8 and 2014 V6. Andy is bigger than Adrian
Aston biggest problem is a Lance-shaped problem.
Nice PR piece for your Aramco overlords.
It think it was fairly balanced
14. Secs, no views, THE RACE is down bad
LAWRENCE STROLL is the problem :D
The end.
No actually. He signed wdcs and he actually knows what he is doing. He is most likely going to get newey. He already got Honda. Lawrence stroll is actually competent and makes you wonder how his son is related to him apart from blood
lol exaclty the opposite
