Aston Martin believe Red Bull are “absolutely beatable” during the upcoming 2024 F1 season due to the converging performa🔯nce of the field.

Red Bull have secured all four world championship titles since new regulations were introduced in 2022 and produced the most dominant F1 season ever last year, winning 21 of the 22 races as168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Max Verstappen romped to his third consecutive drivers' crown.

Aston Martin started 2ﷺ023 as Red Bull’s nearest challengers in the opening rounds before suffering a dip in competitiveness at the mid-point of the season.

But having seen some impressive gains made up and down the field, including McLaren’s stunning mid-se♍ason transformation, Aston Martin reckon Red Bull can be caught.

Aston Martin technical director Dan Fallo♛ws said the team are confident they have made a “good step” over the winter with their AMR24, which was unveiled on Monday at Silverstone.

“There’s still a lot of lap time to come and we take the approach that Red Bull are absolutely beatable,” Fallow🌄s, a former Red Bull employee, said.

“That’s what we areꦆ chasing after🔯. We are focusing on them and that’s what we’re aiming for.”

He added: “We talk about Red Bull bec𒐪ause they are the benchmark in te𝔉rms of performance.

“Really for us, whoever is the fastest💫 car is the focus for us. And💝 that’s what we are looking at.

“Rather than thinking about indi♒vidual races, from an engineering point of view, we have to make a car tha🥂t’s capable of operating at any circuit and being competitive.

“That’s really what꧂ we’re focused on. Making a car that is🦩 usable and good for the drivers and that’s what we’ve really been trying to focus on.

“Those sort of competitive stats and how we get closer 🐻to Red Bull will come after that.

“If we put that performance on the car then we have given ourselves the opportunity to compete at tha🐭t level, which is exactly what we wa🧸nt.”

Asked if he shares the same belief as Aston Martin’s technical director,168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Fernando Alonso replied: “It is a♔ good thing he says that. It puts a smile on my face.

“We have to be optimistic at this ไpart of the season. We saw last year as well that Ferrari finished really strong and achဣieved a few pole positions in the last part of the year.

“McLaren also did a huge step during the ဣseason and got close to Red Bull in a few races. So let’s see wha♉t happens.

“I think we have to be regularly in the points first, being a contender for podiums, as we did last year, and then if we are in that position, it would be lovely to achieve the first victory in green for Aston Martin and hopefully I can be behind the wheel at🎶 tha🍎t moment.

“But I think we have to go step-by-step and it’s going to be very tight. There are going to be fo💦ur or five teams within two tenths of a second this year, I bet.

“That will put you [either] fighting for po𒀰diums or fighting out of the top 10. So we need to be really focused on that.”
