A top Aston Martin chief declared it isn't possible for his team to copy Red Bull's car designs – because of their existing partnership with Mercedes.
After years of mediocrity, the Silverstone-based team has made a huge performance leap and has been getting the better of Mercedes and Ferrari so far this season. And that improvement happens to have coincided with some staff members making the switch from Red Bull.
Most notably, Dan Fallows left to become Aston Martin's technical director, while his deputy has worked for all of the 'big three' in the past. Those moves, coupled with the changes made to Aston's 2022 car which earned it the "Green Bull" moniker, have sparked some suggestions that the team has been following Red Bull's lead in terms of design.
