Aron faces Monza dash from cockpit to simulator

Paul Aron is set to have a demanding schedule during the Italian Grand Prix weekend at Monza, where he will replace Pierre Gasly in the first practice session. Following this, he will head back to Enstone to work in the simulator, allowing him to translate his real-world driving experience into virtual testing for the team. This approach is intended to enhance the setup of the car based on the unique challenges posed by the Monza circuit.

The use of the simulator is especially important this weekend due to the energy management issues faced by the 2026 cars on Monza's long straights. Aron will also assist in evaluating a recent upgrade on Gasly's car, which is now also on Franco Colapinto's vehicle. This collaboration aims to streamline the process of addressing any performance issues identified during practice, ultimately benefiting the team's overall performance.
