MERCEDES helped ASTON MARTIN develop the 2022 race car

Aston Martin had a successful season in 2020 when it raced under the name Racing Point. Last season, things turned around, but Andrew Green, the team’s technical director, sees an opportunity in the 2022 season - also with the help of Mercedes partner.

It's no secret that it is Aston Martin cloned the winning race car Mercedesa from the season 2019 and used this as a basis for their race car seasons 2020 (as Racing Point) and 2021.

In words Greena they have to “copy” the race car opened her eyes and help them develop a race car 2022. The introduction of new rules will give many teams the opportunity to reach the top. “It has definitely opened our eyes to new ways of working, new concepts and new ideas,”Is Green said in a conversation with colleagues from the portal The Race. "It has allowed us to continue this thinking to some extent with last season’s race car, and certainly with the 2022 season race car.“Last season for Aston Martin it was not easy, which is why they fell to seventh place in the construction championship.

Andrew Green, technical director of the Aston Martin team, admitted that cloning a Mercedes car has opened their eyes to developing a new team car for the 2022 season.

However, the team said Greena learned a lot from cloning Mercedes. The British do not like to use the word "copy“, As the team itself worked on developing the solution. It really is Aston Martin analyzed Mercedes and examined why they are on the track faster from other race cars. “It’s not about a copy, but about developing a solution where you have a rough idea of ​​what you think the answer is, but you still have to get there." Green he adds that it took a lot to be a team understood the race car, but in the end it turned out well.
