Lawrence Stroll has said the “ingredients” to make Aston Martin successful are coming together, and driver ambassador Jessica Hawkins thinks the team are “learning fast” as they look to get on form quickly.

Aston have started the season with what appears to be the second-slowest car on the grid based on early form, with Lance Stroll and Nico Hulkenberg having struggled to get to grips with the AMR22 on track.
