The 2024 F1 season is well into its ongoing summer break and while the on-track action has come to a halt, there hasn’t been much shortage of action outside of it. Recently it has come to light that Adrian Newey has reportedly signed a mega deal with Aston Martin.

While this news has got the world of F1 talking, the Aston Martin team principal, Mike Krack has asserted that the Silverstone-based outfit is a top team. He genuinely feels the work that’s been going on in Silverstone is truly world-class.

I’m looking forward to the second half of the season and I’m proud of the team for the focus and determination they have shown. The mood is positive and everyone is giving their best.

The second half of the 2024 season is set to kick off on the 23rd of August in Zandvoort at the Dutch Grand Prix. Aston Martin has work to do in terms of catching up to Ferrari and keeping this in view, it will be fascinating to see how much Krack and Co. would be able to improve the performance output of the AMR24.
