Pedro de la Rosa looks for improvements as Aston Martin struggles in Monaco

It was a difficult Friday in Monaco for Aston Martin, as the team grappled with a lack of pace from the AMR26 during practice. The machine simply looked disconnected from the tight streets of the circuit, leaving the team with a mountain to climb before the weekend truly intensifies.

Pedro de la Rosa, acting as Team Ambassador, confirmed the squad is working flat out to deliver a more agile car for Saturday. The goal is to sharpen their response for FP3 and the all-important qualifying session, but they have their work cut out for them to find that necessary rhythm.
