Christian Horner has once again been approached by Aston Martin to reinvigorate the Formula 1 team. That rumour is reported by The Daily Mail. The former Red Bull Racing team principal is still be considering various options for a return to the pinnacle of motorsport.
According to the British outlet, Aston Martin owner Lance Stroll has been keen on Horner and was close to making a move for him until negotiations are said to have fallen through at the last moment.
Now as Aston Martin continues to struggle on track, the British team is said to have made another attempt to lure Horner.
Remember, the vibrations are gone and the rear suspension is unchanged since the beginning of the year.venkyhere wrote: ↑30 Jun 2026, 21:22"The rear suspension is slightly revised"
I am eager to see if the rear arm of the top wishbone is still connected to the rear crash structure (rear wing pylons) or like other conventional designs, gone back to connecting to the gearbox casing. I always had a hunch (posted in this thread long ago) that one of the sources for the vibration problem was the 'noise' from the wheels.
With Newey facing health issue, and Aston Martin making loses, its all possible that Horner may be hoping to acquire a stack in the team. Last moment fall out could be due to disagreement in company valuation.FNTC wrote: ↑30 Jun 2026, 23:39https://www.gpblog.com/en/news/aston-ma ... ian-horner

Vibration is not just a simple thing. Just an example,you get vibration at higher rev-rpm range or getting worse when the race goes. Is can be simply eliminate, by use different material. Maybe they used the same alloy or carbon lay out at every mounted parts and is amplifier each other because they have the same resonance frequency. "Bushings" will works but just for few laps ,then the harmonic effect start again. (Exactly this what Alonso told to riporter, that sometimes everything feels normal, then after pitstop everything shaking.zoroastar wrote: ↑01 Jul 2026, 08:15havent you noticed the rear wishbone wrapped in foam and duct tape since miami?diffuser wrote: ↑01 Jul 2026, 04:03Remember, the vibrations are gone and the rear suspension is unchanged since the beginning of the year.venkyhere wrote: ↑30 Jun 2026, 21:22"The rear suspension is slightly revised"

honestly, the crash structure has to be a solid mounting area. if the other end is mounted to the hub (or whatever its called) i dont see that there would be any difference in vibrations. id think the gearbox casing would be subject to more vibration than a solid part of the chassis thats made to withstand impacts.
be glad when hungary gets here though.
Isn't the F1 race team totally independent of the car company? I believe the only connection is a sponsorship deal from Aston.CHT wrote: ↑01 Jul 2026, 05:58With Newey facing health issue, and Aston Martin making loses, its all possible that Horner may be hoping to acquire a stack in the team.
