Just look at the W13 updates last year which ultimately led RUS to win at Interlagos. Their zero pod concept had caused issues with balance/tyre wake which had to be addressed to make the damn thing drivable.

Even the W14's lack of pace appeared to be a mystery (at least to people not in the team), though might be track specific. Let's wait and see what it does at the fast Jeddah Corniche circuit.

Oh yes, but upgrades are linear as other top teams developing as well. Any one radical update giving 4 or 5 tenths is out of the question.

The Red Bull and Aston are very different, doesn't look a copy at all.

Jeddah is easier on deg, Ferrari should be closer to the Bulls.

What a honeymoon period it’s been for Fernando and Aston Martin so far! Front row start on the second race, when AM was almost down and out last season. Let’s see how long it sustains like this.
