Lance Stroll assesses the current state of Aston Martin

It is a difficult moment for the Aston Martin garage. Lance Stroll has been blunt about the reality facing the team, admitting that "right now it's challenging" as they navigate a period without any significant upgrades.

With no major technical revisions scheduled for the next two race weekends, the squad is focusing on patience. That is the word from Stroll as the paddock settles in for this weekend's Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix.
