Aston Martin team principal Otmar Szafnauer has confirmed that the team have now fully placed their focus onto their 2022 challenger.

The majority of teams are already putting the majority of their resources into designing their new cars, with the sweeping technical regulation changes forcing teams to compromise their 2021 development so they can be in the best possible shape for next season and beyond.

Compared to the team’s success last season under the Racing Point marque, results have been underwhelming in 2021 – as they currently sit P6 in the Constructors’ Championship and a full 100 points behind Ferrari just two places above them.
