Although the Australian race is set to take place tomorrow, the Aston Martin team has no suspense to become the unluckiest team in this race.
In the third practice session this morning, Vettel and Stoll hit the wall in succession, causing serious damage to two Aston Martin cars. And in qualifying, Storr, who had a hard time fixing his car, did not even finish the time lap, and he had a fierce collision with Latifi and directly withdrew from the qualifying competition. Thanks to the accident of his teammates, Vettel was able to catch up with the qualifying scramble in the final moments of Q1, but ended with the worst result of the game. That's how the Aston Martin team performed horribly at today's Albert Park circuit.
Compared to Stoll hitting the wall in the third practice session and being hit by Latino in qualifying, the four-time drivers' championship Vettel, who only made his official debut this season, made the technicians of aston Martin's team feel desperate.
Vettel's performance from practice to qualifying in this station can be said to be "impressive". In the first practice session, Vettel piloted the car with a direct burst cylinder and acted as a firefighter on the spot. In the second practice match, Vettel was outright absent. Waiting until today's third practice session, Vettel made a serious mistake in the race and crashed the car straight into the fence. Just as the fans on the scene were once again looking forward to Vettel riding a small motorcycle and greeting the audience, the German finally learned to be obedient and honestly sat behind the staff back to the maintenance area.
For their two drivers, the "such a scourge" car, the maintenance engineers of the Aston Martin team naturally became the busiest people in the race.
In qualifying Q1, when all the teams had already made their debuts, the Aston Martin team's P room was still a busy scene. Vettel's No. 5 and Stoll's No. 18 were lined with aston Martin's mechanics. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Aston Martin team's maintenance engineers, Stoll finally caught up with the qualifying competition. But unexpectedly, Stoll's timer had not yet run, and he was chased by Latifi. I believe that seeing such a picture, the technicians of the Aston Martin team are "ten thousand horses galloping" in their hearts.
Two of their own drivers took turns to have accidents, the car was constantly damaged, the qualifying results were the worst, one was directly withdrawn, according to the rhythm of practice and qualifying, the results of the Aston Martin team in tomorrow's race can also be imagined. For the maintenance engineers of the Aston Martin team, the heart is silently praying, don't repair the car again!!!
