The Red Bull F1 team has easily got the best car of the 2023 F1 grid and amidst its dominance at the front, Aston Martin’s Head of Performance, Tom McCullough has indicated that the AMR23 could also be seen supporting similar designs in future F1 races. He has been left very impressed with the work of Red Bull this year.
The RB19 has operated in a league of its own this year and none of the other F1 teams have even been able to come closer to the kind of performance output Red Bull has been able to generate from its car. Moreover, in the hands of Max Verstappen, the car has proven to be an extremely lethal weapon.
While talking about what Aston Martin has got planned in order to improve the performance of the AMR23, Tom McCullough told MundoDeportivo, “The Red Bull floor? We always look at the photos and things are on the way. You always take a good look at it and we will continue to bring updates to the car to improve performance this year.“
“What we see this year we will use for the next and in elements such as the ground we have more evolutions on the way for this year.” McCullough has made it evidently clear that Aston Martin is going to do everything necessary in order to improve the performance of its 2023 and also next year’s car.

Aston Martin has moved backward on the 2023 F1 grid
The Aston Martin F1 team was the team to beat after Red Bull during the initial phase of the 2023 F1 season. Fernando Alonso managed to score six podium finishes in the first eight races. However, as the season has rolled on, the Silverstone-based team has moved backward on this year’s grid.
The team is well aware of the areas in which it has to improve and after the summer break, Aston Martin would need to be at the top of their game at every event in order to stay amongst the top three teams. McLaren has made a huge step up recently and has shocked the paddock with several teams left scratching their heads.
Aston Martin is currently third in the Championship but Ferrari is not too far behind. The gap between the two teams is extremely small and if Alonso and Co. are to make sure that they go into the summer break in the same position, then they would have to put in a strong performance at this weekend’s Belgian GP.
