Aston Martin explain the cause of Fernando Alonso’s DNF at the Italian Grand Prix
Aston Martin confirmed that gravel was the cause of Fernando Alonso’s suspension failure at the Italian Grand Prix. Alonso’s race was ended prematurely due to the damaged suspension after running wide on the track. Despite his efforts to return to the pit lane, the issue forced him to retire the car on Lap 24. An internal investigation revealed that gravel from the opening lap compromised Alonso’s car and led to the failure. The frustrating retirement added to Alonso’s string of bad luck this season, keeping him behind Lance Stroll in the F1 drivers’ standings. Despite his strong performance, luck has not been on Alonso’s side this year, leading to missed opportunities for valuable points.
