But before the race Sky Sports were denied access to the team, The Sun reports.
Ralf Schumacher attempted to speak to someone at Aston Martin but was rebuffed.
“I know they’re not giving us any more interviews because they don’t like us that much at the moment,” he said.
His colleague Peter Hardenacke added: “We were a bit too critical of the people at Aston Martin.”

Schumacher has been critical of the car this season and he called for Stroll to apologise for his antics at the British Grand Prix.
After struggling at Silverstone Stroll said over his radio: “This is the worst piece of s*** I’ve ever driven.”
According to German outlet Bild, Aston Martin also declined the interview as they believe Sky shows little interest in the team at other media events, such as press conferences.
They are now understood to be setting an example of Sky as interest grows in the team, due to more positive results from both Stroll and Fernando Alonso in recent weeks.
Aston Martin had a slow start to the season but have picked up points in recent weeks.
Alonso and Stroll have 26 points each and place 11th and 12th respectively in the standings, with Aston Martin sixth in the Constructors standings.
Ten races remain on the 2025 F1 calendar with the grid currently enjoying its summer break before returning for the Dutch Grand Prix on August 31.
With major regulation changes set to come into play for next season, Aston Martin have been building for the future after poaching technical guru Adrian Newey from Red Bull.
Newey has designed 14 championship-winning F1 cars during his time at Williams, McLaren and Red Bull.
