While Ferrari has downplayed these reports, Mercedes is expected to unveil a new design at the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix. However, Aston Martin’s Technical Director, Andrew Green, has cautioned that changing the design philosophy is a challenging task. He believes it is crucial to have conviction in the new direction before making such a significant shift.
Green acknowledges the conceptual differences between teams and notes that both Ferrari and Mercedes are currently comparable in terms of pace. Therefore, it becomes difficult for either team to admit they have gone in the wrong direction or resist change. However, he acknowledges the potential for teams to reassess their aerodynamic concepts and observes that the longer they wait, the more challenging it becomes.
