Aston Martin evaluates their chances of catching up to Red Bull in the current season

However, with Red Bull’s advantage on the track all but guaranteeing them a 1-2 result barring complications, Krack acknowledges that making up points isn’t easy with Red Bull on track to grab the majority.

“In a cost cap environment, with such intensity of racing, you have to start with a good car, because to play catch-up along the year – and if you are down on points, as we have seen last year – it’s quite impossible, because there was not much to score,” he said.
