I think that this announcement shows that Lawrence Stroll is in racing for the long haul. not just until Lance steps away. he truly wants to build a new legacy for AM. Also I think that its cool that Heart Of Racing is an American team running the car and its a small nod to the last time AM won overall with Carol Shelby driving. Another thing as well, I think that when MSR return to IMSA in 2025 we could see them using an Alpine Chasis which would add a 7th manufacture by 2025.

@A350XLR 10 ай бұрын

He's moving Lance to WEC, so that AM can go for more balanced lineup in F1

@mrsoisauce9017 10 ай бұрын

In all fairness, we should note that Lawrence does have a lot of love for motor racing and Aston Martin. If he were only in it to give Lance a seat, he wouldn't have been the driving force behind making the DB12 the car it is now. In fact, he probably would have just let the rest of Aston Martin do whatever it wanted while Lance stayed in his seat and then dipped as soon as Lance decided he wanted out, but that's not what we see happening. Lawrence is committed to finally making Aston Martin truly great, and he has the money to do it. He's using it wisely

Sorry this is a long comment but TL;DR F1 drivers not being used and non-hybrid doesnt mean bad. Alonso and Stroll will have no involvement in the Hypercar, it will be the HoR drivers and the 6 AM GT drivers and then based off that HoR will make the decision on who will drive. On BoP, yes the AM is non-hybrid but no it doesnt mean they will be bad. The hybrids dont increase power it is just a separate way of producing it it makes no real differenceoutside of some tyre wear for LMH hybrids and getting some instant torque but even then it is BoP on when hybrid can be used, and the current non-hybrid cars are 2 underfunded teams that set a bad example for non-hybrids, Glickenhaus hasnt tested due to funding and Vanwall has major engine cooling issues decreasing their speed. If Isotta are very slow with BoP then it is an issue as they have done more testing and based on the testing times can be competitive.

IMO, their efforts is 5 years too late. By the time Valkyrie will enter the scene, others LMH (and LMDh) will be better developed, and more competitive. Aston Martin had their chances in 2021, but they threw it away for F1. And also screwed Glickenhaus badly (and Toyota to some extent).

Actually, both Glick and Vanwall might be gone from the WEC by the time Aston enters in 2025. Glickenhaus is struggling financially, so they might not even be allowed to enter next season. No one knows how Vanwall is doing though, but it can't go too well for them given their lacking performance. Also consider Isotta Fraschini with Vector Sport and a potential F1 Allstar Jota 963.

The only benchmark for non-hybrids is the Glickenhaus, and that car has many design flaws that have nothing to do with the powertrain.
