Aston Martin Formula 1 Technical Director Adrian Newey has admitted that there is a risk of nerve damage for drivers when using the team's cars. For this reason, the team will not be able to use the cars' full potential at the Australian Grand Prix.
Redaksiya reports that Adrian Newey's statements reveal certain limitations in the design of the team's cars, and these limitations pose a risk to the drivers' health. Specifically, it has been confirmed that the cars' movement is "severely restricted.".
This situation has increased concerns about the team finishing the Australian Grand Prix. Drivers like Fernando Alonso have expressed concerns about "permanent nerve damage" that the cars could cause. Therefore, each driver is expected to be limited to a total of 25 laps, which will significantly impact their performance.
This decision further deepens the challenges Aston Martin has faced at the start of the season. The relationship between Adrian Newey and Honda is also thought to play a role in this situation. How the team will resolve these technical issues and protect the drivers' health remains unclear for now.
