Aston upgrade tipped to gain seconds in HungaryAston Martin's long-awaited Hungarian GP upgrade could produce a gain measured in seconds, according to Fernando Alonso's former manager Luis Garcia Abad. But I think Aston can gain seconds this week. Former Aston Martin team boss Otmar Szafnauer has heard similarly dramatic figures about the Adrian Newey-led package. I've heard that Aston Martin is gaining 70 points of downforce, which translates to 2.3 seconds, he said on the High Performance Racing podcast. The package represents a major overhaul after Aston Martin completed the first 11 races with essentially the same chassis it used during preseason testing.
