Alonso’s move to Aston Martin last season saw the team rise to prominence, achieving six podiums in the first eight races.

Their Technical Director highlighted the need for continuous development with the AMR24. Alonso pointed out the areas where Aston Martin needs improvement, such as low-speed performance and downforce in high-speed corners. He emphasized the importance of addressing tire degradation and overall performance upgrades. Despite the progress made, Alonso recognizes the ongoing competition and the necessity of keeping up with advancements by other teams. The focus this season is on aggressive car development to avoid the drop-off experienced in the previous year.
