“Fernando Alonso showed a strong start in his first season with Aston Martin in 2023, claiming six podiums in the first eight races and running third in the championship. However, his performance has since declined, with him only picking up his first points of the 2025 season at the Spanish Grand Prix, the ninth round.
Lance Stroll had been the main point scorer for Aston Martin, with 14 points from the first two rounds before Alonso’s breakthrough.
Issues in Aston Martin’s technical department have impacted the AMR25 car’s performance this season, particularly with race pace problems. The car seems to struggle on Sundays compared to Saturdays, with Alonso and Stroll facing challenges in overtaking.
Alonso has highlighted the need to improve straightline speed, tyre degradation, and balance towards Sunday races, emphasizing the importance of changes to the car setup. Despite challenges, Alonso is optimistic about the team’s potential for improvement and strategic adjustments for future races.”
