Aston Martin happy with AMR26 'step forward' in Monza

Aston Martin has expressed optimism ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix, citing a significant step forward during the recent race at Monza. Despite the results not reflecting this progress, trackside chief Mike Krack emphasized the importance of improved drivability and the interaction between the chassis and Honda power unit, which they believe will be beneficial at the new Madring circuit.

The team acknowledges that while confidence has grown, they must continue to refine their performance. With Alonso's recent success in Zandvoort, Aston Martin is hopeful that their ongoing development will yield tangible results in Madrid. However, the team understands that true progress will be measured by their performance on the track, as Formula 1 demands consistent evidence of improvement.
