Fernando Alonso doesn’t expect the Aston Martin Formula 1 team to enact a quick turnaround to the regression in competitiveness it has experienced in recent races. Aston Martin started last season as Red Bull’s closest rival and a regular podium scorer, but the team was unable to sustain that momentum and slipped to fifth place. […]
Aston Martin began the last season as Red Bull’s main competitor, frequently reaching the podium, but unfortunately slipped to fifth place. Despite introducing the most upgrades in F1 in 2024, Aston Martin has not been able to close the gap to the top teams and has even fallen back towards RB. Since the large update at Imola, Alonso has struggled to advance past Q1 or score points, indicating that the AMR24 might be more challenging to drive. These recent races have served as a wake-up call for Aston Martin, prompting Alonso to emphasize the importance of learning from their weaknesses for the upcoming seasons. Although significant improvements may take some time, the team remains focused on making continuous small advancements at each race, aiming to eventually return to the front of the grid.
