🗣 'I cannot tell you, but it was not far from using WD40!' Aston Martin will devise a permanent fix for the DRS failure experienced throughout the F1 AzerbaijanGP weekend that led the team to use lubricant as a temporary solution. Full story ⬇️
The malfunction was primarily caused by an aerodynamic characteristic of the new low-drag wing specification, which meant the overtaking device was oscillating and would only intermittently activate.By way of a temporary solution for the Azerbaijan GP, in which, the team cleaned the rear wing endplates with lubricant to ease the movement of the flap.
"The car is in parc ferme so there is not so much you can do. We tried to clean the surfaces and tried to check your gaps, everything. "This was after a routine check, basically, because if you pull all the time on the flap when it is not moving then you put more stress on it. So, for safety we wanted to change it."Krack labelled the DRS problem as a"distraction" for the team and that the AMR23's real deficit had come in the twisty middle sector of the lap.
"It is a distraction, and a lot of the team then focuses on that, so this is also the reason we no longer have the issue. Overall, I think we managed to solve it.
