Aston Martin flew out of the traps this year, but others have reeled them in as the season has progressed.
Aston Martin performance director Tom McCullough has admitted the team have to accept that other teams have done a “stronger job” of in-season development this year.
But the likes of Mercedes, Ferrari and latterly McLaren have all recovered from slower starts to overhaul the Silverstone-based team on pure pace as the year has progressed, with Aston Martin in danger of losing out on fourth place in the Constructors’ Championship in the closing stages of 2023.
While Aston Martin have pointed out they have still made huge strides forward compared to where they were this time last year, having been languishing in the lower midfield in 2022, performance director McCullough admitted the team were “surprised” to be so far forward at the start of this year. “There are definitely some teams at the start of the year who were underperforming, who were taking a step back, we knew that they’d get back on top of that, most notably McLaren and Mercedes,” McCullough said, as quoted by Motorsport.com.
