Aston Martin offers theory for breakthrough Sepang F1 result

Aston Martin's trackside chief Mike Krack has provided insights into how Fernando Alonso achieved a season-best eighth place finish at the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia. He attributed this success to the unique surface conditions at the Sepang Circuit, which may have favoured the car's strengths during the race, particularly in low-grip situations.

Additionally, Honda's Shintaro Orihara discussed the power unit's performance in wet conditions, indicating that the energy management during the race affected engine operation. The team is using data from this experience to prepare for the upcoming Singapore Grand Prix, aiming to improve drivability under similar conditions.
