Many Formula 1 teams are planning to bring an upgrade package to Silverstone. Red Bull Racing, among others, can benefit from its location near its factory in Milton Keynes, but so can Aston Martin.
The Silverstone-based team plans to bring "substantial upgrades" after already transforming the AMR22 at Barcelona. The team's B-spec caused controversy because of its similarities to Red Bull's RB18, but Aston's revised car was deemed legal by the FIA.
The "green Red Bull" did not bring any miracles to the team, but Sebastian Vettel's sixth place in Baku proved that steps have been taken. For the British GP, another major upgrade is planned.
"For Silverstone, we will have another substantial update. But I think most teams will have that," said team boss Mike Krack in a conversation with The Race website.
The 50-year-old Luxembourgian hopes to take a big step with the next upgrade package. "The goal has to be to really get ahead of this middle of the grid," concluded the manager, who currently classifies his team as being "in the middle" of that pack.
