ASTON MARTIN
Started 17th ---- Result 17th Gets a bonus for being plunged into a tough situation. Also did well to outqualify Stroll and get close to Tsunoda. In the race he and Stroll had to cope with big lift-and-coast demands to aid engine cooling and tyre temps, but he acquitted himself well in backmarker battle.
Started 19th ---- Result 12th Even if a high grid placing wasn’t expected with Aston’s porpoising severity, he shouldn’t have been outqualified by a temporary team-mate with no 2022 testing experience. Put awful qualifying down to a set-up tweak going wrong. Battled hard in the race and rose to the fringe of the points.
