Aston Martin, waiting to know if Adrian Newey will want to discuss the sensational offer that Lawrence Stroll made to the English "genius" of Red Bull (there is talk of 100 million dollars in four years!),

Peter Windsor said that Ferrari should have offered Newey a billion dollars last time around. And he wasn't joking. He meant literally a billion. So 100 millions doesn't sound like enough. But maybe Newey would like to see something happen with the British brand. He doesn't want to leave the UK

Yes a billion, but don't joke

Apparently only Stroll got the new package, does anyone know more about that?

Right now Aston Martin only has one kit of the new upgrade package. It will be used by Lance Stroll in FP1 & FP2. The second kit should arrive later today and will be used by Fernando Alonso from FP3 onwards.

btw, if i’m doing that quoting wrong, please just say so. never done it before!

Edit: Yes true, only one new package, seems like they wanted to compare the data. Unlucky that it's raining now and that there won't be much running.

Stroll's car has some aerodynamic modifications. The most notable is in the sidepods that are now not so rounded, perhaps it has something to do with cooling and/or perhaps also with the search for greater top speed. They have also lengthened the bottom tail, widening it to the rear wheels.
There is an interesting video published by Albert Fábregas on YouTube. Although it is in Spanish, the images of the updates of the different teams are very interesting.
I don't understand why Stroll was in charge of testing AM's modifications.

Continuing their general trend from last year of bringing updates only for it to be rain affected or sprint races and not able to learn enough

Hmm...very difficult to estimate.
Newey was reported at RedBull with 9m Euro during the cost cap breach as he "only" did some F1 projects and mainly worked on sailing and road cars
Given that this was maybe 10%, we can weight him into the 100m per year region already at RedBull.

Of course you can report a 1 Billion contract, if you give him 200m per year on a 5 year basis? But is this what we are talking about here and enough to go to Aston? Id this something RB could not cover?

They have new sidpods, new floor body, new floor fence and new floor edge with a modified rear diffuser. Non of it is for cooling. It's all to increase DF.

The drivers take turns in testing new parts.

[Waz]

The sidepod has the RB19 crease now.

The drivers took turns getting updates first last year, so not a surprise it's happening again. Fairly big change, and would be useful to compare directly to old spec.

Hopefully enough to push Aston Martin clear of Mercedes at least.

[AR3-GP]

The crease was on the AMR22 B-spec which supposedly was not a copy of the RB, and just a coincidence.

In my opinion, the Aston Martin is the best looking car in the paddock, livery and all. Perhaps some performance can be extracted.

I'm replying to myself

They also added a little height to the highest points of the engine cover's twin arcs, before the rear exit. Presume that gets more downward flow of that air coming out from under the engine cover.

Yes we seen it,anyway Alonso package also on the way ,he will use it tomorrow also. So basically both driver will get the new updates at qualification and race.
