Aston Martin began last season in startling form but developments across the year took the team backwards. Can Alonso’s team take a big step forward with the new challenger when racing begins in Bahrain?
Fernando Alonso has cautioned against expecting a quick fix for Aston Martin’s struggles in Formula 1, stating that there is no “magic bullet” to propel them up the grid. Aston Martin had a disappointing season in 2022, dropping from their initial position as Red Bull’s closest competitor to finishing fifth in the standings. Alonso attributes part of their late-season struggles to a narrow set-up window and the development of the car. However, he remains optimistic that they have identified areas for improvement and that the new season will be better. Alonso also acknowledges that the constantly evolving nature of F1 means there is no guarantee of success and they need to stay vigilant.
