P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Fernando Alonso finished outside of the points in the Italian Grand Prix – but predicted such a result.
Fernando Alonso achieved his prediction of an “anonymous” Italian Grand Prix weekend as Aston Martin failed to secure any points, finishing in 11th place, closely behind Kevin Magnussen and Alex Albon. This marked the sixth race in the past eleven where Alonso was unable to score points as Aston Martin struggled in the midfield battle. Currently positioned 218 points behind Mercedes in fourth place and 40 points ahead of RB in sixth, the team is far from their 2023 form of contending for podiums. Alonso described the race as “painful” and recognized the need for patience until the 2026 rules reset. Despite the team’s tire concerns and lack of downforce, Alonso remains determined to improve and compete with the likes of Williams and Toro Rosso. These challenges motivate them to raise the bar and enhance their performance for upcoming races in Baku and Singapore.
