Stroll got priority for Aston Martin's first big upgrade of 2024...
Lance Stroll ’s race-ending crash at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix played a part in him receiving Aston Martin ’s big Japanese GP upgrade before team-mate Fernando Alonso , it has emerged. Lance Stroll , not Fernando Alonso , gets Aston Martin ’s first big upgrade of F1 2024
That is despite Alonso currently holding a seven-point lead over Stroll in the Drivers’ standings, as well as his record from the 2023 campaign when he claimed a total of eight podium finishes as Stroll suffered arguably the worst season of his career. With Stroll’s chassis requiring repairs, Aston Martin reportedly fitted the new parts as they went along rather than bringing a separate upgrade to the track in Japan.
With upgrades for Alonso’s car only arriving at the circuit on Friday evening, AMuS reports Aston Martin now face a decision over whether to fit the new parts overnight or wait until the next race in China to race the new-look AMR24 for the first time.
