Aston Martin has explained how its biggest upgrade package yet for the 2024 Formula 1 season in Imola is just a step of an 'aggressive' development programme building on 2023's setbacks.

Aston consolidated its spot at the top of the midfield but has so far generally been fifth fastest, some way behind fourth-placed team Mercedes. It hasn't scaled the heights of its early 2023 run of podiums yet, and instead saw its performance levels fluctuate between various circuit conditions, with a curious discrepancy between qualifying and race performance.

' Only Alonso sampled the package in FP1 so the team could perform a back-to-back evaluation of the new and old spec. After the break, the new items were also bolted onto Lance Stroll's machine for FP2. The pair finished second practice 10th and 13th respectively, around a second off leader Charles Leclerc.
