Much like Ferrari is facing an enormous crisis, Aston Martin, too, can be on that path soon. And the team won’t be jumping down that path because of its own mistakes, but would rather be forced by Zak Brown-led McLaren. To fix their troubles and bring back the glory as soon as possible, they are scrambling for the best of the engineers in the paddock and have set their eyes inside Lawrence Stroll’s garage.

The $3.6 billion worth Lawrence Stroll’s team is set to suffer two major setbacks. The major one of the two is the departure of Mariano Alperin, who has been signed by McLaren along with Grant Kennedy. Alperin worked as the chief of performance and aerodynamic analysis, as reported by Lasexta.com. His move for McLaren is part of a rigorous recruitment drive following the departure of James Key in the aerodynamics department and the hiring of Ferrari’s David Sanchez.

After this departure, Lawrence Stroll must be stepping out to look for the right replacements before the development of the team’s future challengers takes a hit. After toiling hard for two years, the team has come up with a challenger that has got three back-to-back podiums. With the reputation of Stroll of being a renowned investor, who has pledged to further invest following the team’s impressive performance, anticipation mounts for an imminent and momentous development.

The Canadian businessman toiled hard to set up the team, which will also see Guru Johl leave for AlphaTauri. However, as reported by GrandPrix.com the said departures won’t hurt the team much, since the respective individuals worked on the car driven in 2022.

McLaren delivering blows across the paddock

Trouble for McLaren at the start of the season meant trouble for all. Zak Brown ensured that the woes of the Woking-based squad became a challenge for all the teams as they came down hunting for new engineers for their up-and-coming win tunnel, set to be operational in this year’s June.

As reported by Formula1news, the McLaren boss has made 15 signings in the aerodynamics department. Key figures have been roped in from Aston Martin, Red Bull, and Ferrari. Of these, Alperin and Sanchez are the most prominent, having been behind their respective team’s turnarounds in 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Zak Brown wants to capitalize on the wind tunnel to the max. With the 2024 challenger already in the building stages, the turnaround can be visible by the 2023 season. Until then, minor improvements can be made to the cars, leaving its drivers scrambling for points.
