Crack: The mistakes made in Canada must not be repeated.

      During the race weekend in Canada, the Aston Martin team received two monetary penalties – one for a mechanic releasing Fernando Alonso onto the pit lane in front of Franco Colapinto, and the second for sending Lance Stroll's car onto the track in an unsafe condition. After a series of mistakes, Aston Martin's racing director Mike Krack acknowledged that the team urgently needs to get its basic workflows in order.

      Mike Krack: "As you can imagine, there is little pleasant about all this. It is clear that the car's speed issues and organizational mistakes are not related. The car may be insufficiently fast, but that does not excuse such blunders.

      We used to work better, and we must work better again in the future, but this weekend we had several failures that need to be corrected. Lance lost a wheel cap, and in addition to that, he had to start from the pit lane in the sprint.

      Of course, this is not the level we aspire to, so we need to regroup and do everything to ensure that such mistakes do not happen again."

      Krack also added that the car's speed at the Canadian stage met expectations: "If we only talk about the car's speed, we were roughly at the level we expected to be.

      At the beginning of the race, thanks to several fortunate decisions, we found ourselves in good positions, and that gave hope. At one point, Fernando was in tenth place, and Lance was in fourteenth despite starting from the pit lane, and everything looked quite good. But reality in Formula 1 quickly reminds you of the positions we are actually in. Usually, in Formula 1, you finish roughly where you deserve, unless the race turns into complete chaos.

      When retirements started, we continued to fight because in Canada you never know what will happen next. But after that, nothing special happened anymore.

      If we disregard the organizational issues we've already discussed, from a reliability standpoint, everything was good. There were no problems with the power unit. We have already come a long way, but the car still lacks speed."
