Marco Sorensen revealed that issues with tyre warm-up contributed to his crash during the Prologue test for the 2026 World Endurance Championship at Imola. The factory Aston Martin driver experienced the dramatic incident while on an outlap, resulting in significant damage to the #009 Valkyrie he shared with Alex Riberas. Despite emerging unscathed, Sorensen admitted to running out of talent and highlighted tyre warm-up challenges affecting the entire grid. The incident led to a chassis change on the #009 car as the team strove to address performance areas, including tyre warm-up and outlap strategies. Michelin’s new tyre compounds have added another layer of complexity for teams in both the Hypercar and IMSA Sports GTP classes, pushing drivers to adapt quickly. Nevertheless, Sorensen took full responsibility for the crash and remained confident that his experience would allow him to bounce back swiftly. As Aston Martin enters the second year of its Hypercar programme, driver Tom Gamble expressed optimism about the team’s ability to challenge at the front after showing strong progress in the latter part of the previous season. With a focus on scoring points consistently and aiming for podium finishes, Aston Martin is determined to make an impact in the 2026 World Endurance Championship.
