Alonso outlines Aston Martin F1 weaknesses to address for 2024
Aston Martin had a strong start to the season with Alonso as a genuine threat to Red Bull, but their results declined after Austria. It is believed that the removal of an overly flexible front wing and the use of reverse-engineered parts meant for 2024 affected the team’s performance. Alonso stated that the car needs to have a wider operating window and improved straightline speed to be more competitive. The narrow operating window was a result of the development focus on 2024, but the team has learned from these experiments and has clearer ideas for next year. Alonso highlighted the team’s strength in tyre degradation, strategy execution, and team motivation, which they aim to carry over for the next season.
