Alonso ‘not at all’ frustrated’ with Aston Martin 2023 regression
Alonso’s arrival at Aston Martin brought initial success, with the team scoring six podiums in the first eight races. However, their performance has since declined, with only one more top-three finish in the past seven races. Aston Martin couldn’t take advantage of Red Bull’s struggles in Singapore and Alonso had a difficult race due to damage to his car. Despite qualifying in seventh place, Alonso expected a higher position and believes Aston Martin needs to understand why they didn’t seize the opportunity. Aston Martin has dropped behind Mercedes, Ferrari, and McLaren in the standings, but Alonso acknowledges that they anticipated this as they are still a growing team competing against established organizations.
