What most would've hoped to be a season of rebirth for Aston Martin, so far is not turning out to be a very positive period for the team based in Silverstone. The team is having difficulty collecting good performances, with a car that has not been able to adapt well to the new regulations and that certainly needs to be improved under several respects.

To date, Aston Martin's only collected 7 points and is ninth in the Constructors' World Championship, ahead only of Williams.

Thanks to his experience in F1, Sebastian Vettel was able to bring his AMR22 collect a point, arriving 10th in Monaco, offering the team an important shakedown in terms of confidence and morale. The situation was different for Lance Stroll, given that the Canadian, due to the bad qualifying on Saturday, was unable to go beyond the 14th place.

Lance Stroll commented on the strategy induced by the wet conditions of the track, which led him to stop first in the pits to mount intermediate tyres.

“We didn’t loose much, it was not that big of a loss. It was initially difficult but I think that it was always quicker than full wet tyres,” the Canadian told the media after the race, including Motorlat.com.

He then spoke of the potential of the AMR22, which this season seems to be a rather discontinuous car, alluding to the fact that the performances are also related to the type of track on which it is competing, also referring to its qualifying session.

“The car was good, we managed to get into Q3, I definitely felt good in the car, I just made a mistake in Q1 on the kerb and lost it, so I had to abort my lap... but up to that point I felt really good.

“I felt that we were a lot more competitive, positive stuff,” he said.

“Last weekend we were really struggling, so I think that the nature of the track influences a lot the performance of the car.

"Maybe we still have to work on the high speed tracks, we’re still weak in the high speed corners, in the low speed corners I think we’re more competitive.”
