Why Aston Martin expect another strong weekend in Singapore

Aston Martin is optimistic about their performance in the upcoming Singapore Grand Prix following a strong showing by Fernando Alonso in the Bahrain Grand Prix, where he finished eighth. Chief Trackside Officer Mike Krack highlighted the advantages of the Marina Bay circuit, which features fewer long straights, making it potentially more suitable for their car's strengths. The team is motivated by their recent success and aims to build on this momentum.

Both Alonso and teammate Lance Stroll are hopeful for a competitive weekend in Singapore. Alonso noted that the car's performance was relative to the track layout in Malaysia, while Stroll believes the circuit's corner-heavy nature will benefit their Aston Martin-Honda package. The team is focused on capitalising on opportunities in races where engine power is less critical, as they continue to work on improving their overall performance.
