Fernando Alonso believes it is “mandatory” for Aston Martin to continue to score points, especially after Stake scored big in Spain.
Fernando Alonso emphasized to Aston Martin the importance of consistently scoring points in the 2025 F1 season after achieving his first points in the Spanish GP. This marked a significant improvement for Alonso, who had a challenging start to the season, not scoring any points until the ninth round. Despite starting 10th in Spain, Alonso managed to finish 10th after a tumultuous race, which was later bumped up to 9th due to Max Verstappen’s penalty. With these two points, Alonso and teammate Lance Stroll’s combined efforts brought the team to a total of 16 points, tying with Stake Racing following Nico Hulkenberg’s strong performance in Barcelona. Alonso stressed the need for consistency and underlined the team’s obligation to continuously secure points in every race or at least every other race, acknowledging the competitive environment in Formula 1.
