Yo digo ,lo que diga Andy que sabe y dice que el formato està pensado para que haya màs accion y menos conservadurismo en las sesiones de libres y fin de semana , accion , como dirà el Bradd Pitt que ha conseguido que le autorizen a esatr en cabeza en silverstonne con toda la plantilla detràs , alucinante ,,
,
Vamos a por un botin de puntos a baku , pueden pasar muchisimas cosas ,entre el viernes jugandote una clasificacion y el domingo de la carrera , con un solo coche cada piloto sin muletos ,,

We're very close to finalising the format. We've been working closely with the FIA and going through it carefully with our engineers and strategists to make sure it's workable. We all support the new format, but we need to make sure that the regulations are going to work as intended.
What I like about the proposed new format is that the two parts of the event, the Sprint and the Grand Prix, are separate. Drivers will push harder and take more risks in the Sprint because their finishing position won't affect their grid position on Sunday.
It's going to be an extremely exciting weekend. Baku is an interesting selection for a Sprint race. It could be very challenging for the teams and drivers, especially because of the high attrition rate that we get in Baku due to the unforgiving nature of the circuit.
Has the four-week gap between the Australian and Azerbaijan Grands Prix been a welcome respite or a frustrating pause, and is the F1 calendar too long?
We're a race team so we should be going racing. That's what we're here to do – that's what we love. When you look at the size of F1 teams now, they should be able to contest 24 or 25 Grands Prix every year.
We wouldn't want to see the calendar grow much more because then you risk diluting the product, but it's fantastic that the sport is so popular. There were times when this wasn't always the case. We would go to Grands Prix and some would be pretty quiet. It's not like that anymore and it's fantastic to see.
Is the season made easier by having a competitive car?
It is certainly more enjoyable going to Grands Prix when you've got a competitive car, but it is more challenging. We've been racing for a long time, and we've been working hard to get to this point, preparing for the moment when we have a car that we can really compete with.
When you've got a competitive car, it does make the race weekend even more intense. You come home on Monday morning and you are exhausted – really exhausted.
A team at the back of the grid will say it's working as hard as the teams at the front, and there's a lot of truth in that, but the mental strain is much greater when you're at the front. There's a lot more that you have to think of. You're constantly risk-assessing: you want to make sure that you get absolutely everything right.
Has the competitiveness of the AMR23 changed the way the team goes racing?
The processes are very similar. We have to extract the maximum performance from the car and the team in every session.
When you're at the back of the grid, you're trying to pick up your points when others make mistakes. You're always ensuring you do the job properly, but the level of competitiveness is different – it's heightened – and you have to stay incredibly focused.
In the past, we've done very well with cars that weren't so competitive, and we've always taken pride in that. When others have tripped up, we've always been there, ready to capitalise, thanks to our preparation, organisation and processes. Now, we can't trip up because there are teams who will look to take advantage of our mistakes.
Everyone is looking at you. Any mistake, even the tiniest error or a hint of a mistake, and everybody is pointing it out. When you're towards the back of the field people aren't watching you as much, but when you're at the front you're constantly under the microscope.

Andy Stevenson-Sporting Director
Does it feel like what you're doing matters more – when the team is fighting at the front and all eyes are on you?
It does. We're part of an amazing team here at AMF1, part of an iconic brand, and that alone is enough to make you feel proud. But when the car is competitive and you're fighting at the front, everyone walks that little bit taller. You can see it in everyone in the team – everyone's grown that little bit.
Can the team maintain this level of performance?
We have to remain realistic. It's going to take a lot of hard work to stay where we are. There are some incredibly well-established teams that might not have started the season strongly but will be doing everything they can to close the gap and try to beat us.
We came into this season confident in the work we had done with the AMR23 – but not overconfident – and we delivered the car that we thought we could. In the same vein, we're confident in our development plan for the season. We know what we're doing and the direction we're going, but we don't know what the others are doing – that's the unknown.
Do you feel under pressure?
In terms of maintaining this level of performance, I do feel the pressure – however, this also motivates me. Once you've had a taste of it, fighting at the front and scoring regular podiums, you don't want it to stop. You don't want other teams to start performing better than you.
You've been with this team from the very beginning. How has it changed and is it better placed for success than it ever has been before?
This is a phenomenal team and what Lawrence Stroll has allowed us to build here through his support and vision is amazing. It's such an opportunity. We're all privileged to be here – to be part of this journey.
The team is so different from how it was in the past. You can't really make comparisons. When we first entered Formula One in 1991, we weren't even sure whether we were going to complete the whole season!
The only comparison I can make is that what's happening right now in this team is as exciting as those first years in Formula One, if not more exciting. To turn up to a Grand Prix with a car that you can really compete with is very exciting. In '91 we finished fifth in the championship, but we'd be qualifying three seconds off pole position. We're a lot closer now.
You've worked in this sport for more than three decades. What drives you?
There is nothing else I would rather do. I'm fiercely competitive and that really drives me.
I've got unfinished business with this team. Winning a few races is not what I'm here for and neither is anyone else in the team. We're here to win the World Championship – that's the long-term goal.
It's taken a lot of hard work to get to where we are now, but we can't rest on our laurels. The days of punching above our weight and saying that finishing fourth or fifth is good enough are over.
With a fierce ambition to change the game, Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One Team is bringing new energy to F1 in its quest for world titles. Based in Silverstone, the team's talented driver squad includes double World Champion Fernando Alonso and Canada's Lance Stroll.
