STROLL EXPLAINS ASTON MARTIN’S FOCUS AHEAD OF HIS HOME RACE

Lance Stroll is fired up for his home race in Canada, calling it his "favorite race of the year" with its electric atmosphere. Aston Martin arrives on North American soil with a tangible "step forward" from Miami. Both Stroll and Fernando Alonso finished the last race, a first for the team this season, and crucial vibration issues were finally resolved, giving the team a much-needed boost.

Despite the progress, the team's focus remains clear: they desperately need "a lot more downforce and power." Stroll confirms an upgrade package is coming for Spa or Zandvoort, but realistically, it won't instantly propel them to the front. Alonso stresses the importance of "optimizing" their current package, prioritizing driveability and precise driver feedback to inform future engine and aerodynamic concepts. The Canadian Grand Prix will test how much more performance Aston Martin can extract from their existing car, continuing a long journey back to competitive form.
