Aston Martin are yet to reveal the name of their 2021 car, but they do expect it to put them in podium contention from the very first race in Bahrain.

“I think we should get out of the starting blocks quickly and fight for podium places,” said team boss Otmar Szafnauer during an interview withAuto Motor und Sport.

“We want to start the season like we left off the last. If things go in our direction, like in Bahrain or Turkey, we should be able to put the car on pole position and have the chance of a few wins.

“We had the third fastest car for long stretches [of the 2020 season] but we only finished fourth behind McLaren. We were unlucky.

“I really think we just failed last year because of bad luck. We had two engine failures close together, one of them when we were in third place [Perez in the Bahrain GP]. Without that, we would have finished third in the World Championship.

“对我们来说,这将消除downward swings. We need more consistency in scoring. If we can do that, we can be third.That has to be our realistic goal.”
