P1racenews AI automatic summary:
After a slump in performance over recent Grands Prix, Aston Martin bounced back to the podium in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, just, through Fernando Alonso. But it was not with all of the recent upgrade package brought in the United States.
Despite facing a much-faster Sergio Perez, Fernando Alonso skillfully defended his position to secure a spot on the podium at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, providing a much-needed boost for Aston Martin. The team had struggled in the previous race in Mexico City and had experimented with different upgrades, leading to a challenging weekend. However, the team was able to secure prime starting positions for the Grand Prix, with Lance Stroll starting ahead of Alonso. Alonso strategically drove different lines on the track to prevent Perez from identifying his strengths and weaknesses, while also managing his energy and tire usage. In the final lap, Alonso made a brilliant move to hold off Perez and secure the podium position, marking the team’s return to the podium after the Dutch Grand Prix. Team Principal Mike Krack emphasized that the team’s focus had been on learning and preparing for next year, sacrificing immediate results but ultimately managing to come back stronger.
