[Official] Team of the Grand Prix: Brazilian Grand Prix 2023

[Born Racer]

Who gets your vote?

[Greem]

Rather against my usual judgement... Aston. They seem to have found something.

I suspect it's Alonso's mojo

[rika]

Aston Martin.


Not only Alonso but also Stroll was strong.

[Teretonga]

Red Bull got the most out of the race but for sentimental reasons Aston Martin got the vote.

Tricky to know who to give this to. That was Aston-Martin's best result since Melbourne, where they were 3rd and 4th. Red Bull had the best overall result but missed out on getting a double podium. However, they have now won 17 races in a season, equaling Mercedes' record from 2016 and having done that in one less race. RBR, just.

[pedant]Max has won 17,
With Sergio's two wins in Saudi and Monaco, Red Bull have won 19 of the 20 races to date with still the 2 to go to rub itt in further[/pedant]

Aston Martin - where did that come from?

That was sheer embarrassment for Mercedes....

[S griffin]

Red Bull, good drives by both drivers, with a special mention to Aston. And the less said about Merc the better

Indeed, I stand corrected.

[GT6]

Asto Martin for a change, they got back to early seasom form

[AndreasDavour]

Some things they said on Sky made me wonder. Have AM gone back to the car before the upgrades, so that's why are actually quick fast again, or are they getting to grips with the upgrades? If it's the latter, they definitely are the team of the weekend. If it's the former, they are to be congratulated for a well done base design, but bodes very ill for their next year.


Anyhow, I say they gave us something to cheer about, and that's worth a lot!

It’s interesting Aston were quicker in qualifying for the main race that for the sprint race. However it’s clear from both races they seem to have got their race pace sorted. So maybe they just need to keep qualifying near the front

Red Bull are still in a class of their own, so sometimes I give it to them. Usually though I prefer to give it to one of the Class B teams. Ferrari blew their chance by breaking one car before the race even started. McLaren had one car right at the sharp end but the other was right out of it (why?). Mercedes were just painfully slow. So Aston Martin get my vote by getting back to almost where they started the season.

Piastri was rear ended damaging floor, wing and brake ducts. All fixed except for the brake ducts and some floor damage too great to be fixed in time. Not Piastri's fault.

Plus he had to start from the pitlane at the restart, so was unlikely to progress in a hobbled car
