Aston Martin on ‘rapid timescale’ in bid to win F1 title by 2025 | F1 | Sports

Aston Martin are on a “rapid timescale” as part of their five-year plan to win the F1 title. The British manufacturer are “learning very fast” about the new regulations, according to Aston Martin driver ambassador Jessica Hawkins.

Speaking to Express Sport, the 27-year-old explained how the team is working to “find lots of performance” in their car soon.

Hawkins said: “I mean I think every team is in the same situation. We’re learning and we’re learning almost. We’re just at the beginning of the second year of our five year plan so we’re working on a rapid timescale.

“We will hopefully be finding lots of performance in the not too distant future.”

Aston Martin have had a difficult start to the 2022 campaign and has no points after the first two races. The team struggled to extract pace from their Mercedes powertrain but were closer to the pack in Saudi Arabia than Bahrain.

They have also suffered the double blow of losing their lead driver Sebastian Vettel for the first two races after he caught coronavirus. The team set out its ambitious title targets at the launch of their 2021 car last season.

“All the ingredients we require are coming together. Mike will play a central and leading role, reporting to [chief executive] Martin Whitmarsh and leading our technical and operational functions, our collective aim being to fulfill those lofty ambitions. We’re on our way.”
