Alonso outlines Aston Martin F1 weaknesses to address for 2024
Aston Martin started the season strongly, with Alonso posing a threat to Red Bull for race wins. However, their performance declined after Austria, possibly due to the removal of an overly flexible front wing. Reverse-engineering parts for the future also disrupted their progress. Alonso believes that for next year, the team needs to address the drag level to increase top speed and ensure the car operates in a wider operating window. Improving straight-line speed is a priority, as the team struggled with slow performance on the straights. The narrow operating window may have been a consequence of their 2024-focused development, but the team has ideas to improve for next season. Tyre management, strategy execution, and the team’s positive energy are strengths they aim to carry over to next year.
