Strohl decided to develop his own Aston Martin engine and no longer relied on Mercedes

Since the acquisition of Aston Martin, it has become clear that the team can no longer settle for the position of the midstream team. The elder Stroul wants to lead the team to the pinnacle of Formula One, and he is not afraid to invest. For example, the plant is already under construction and will have a brand new wind tunnel built by the summer of 2023. The total investment will amount to between 150 million and 200 million euros.

Through the project, the elder Strool indicated that he wanted to elevate the team to the level of Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull racing. In addition to the larger factory, more employees will be hired as a team to develop together, as evidenced by the fact that the elder Stroul did not hesitate to take away the big names from Red Bull and even Mercedes.

The comments of Team Technical Director Andrew Green also make it clear that the old Stroor is increasingly inclined to choose his own way. According to Formel1.de, the team's technical director revealed that the team is studying the possibility of developing its own engine from 2026 onwards. Like Red Bull Racing, the team will also develop power units at Silverstone's own plant.

This would go against Wolff's advice, which Wolff would not recommend. Wolfe himself is a shareholder in Aston Martin, but the elder Stroor seems to be making his own plans. In any case, until 2025, Aston Martin will still be equipped with Mercedes power units.
