Aston Martin Chief Trackside Director Mike Krack has denied using older suspension parts on Fernando Alonso’s car after his retirement at F1’s Italian GP.
Aston Martin Chief Trackside Director Mike Krack denied allegations that Fernando Alonso was given older parts on his car after retiring in the Italian Grand Prix of Formula 1. Alonso’s 2025 season has been challenging, with him currently positioned outside the top 10 in the Drivers’ Championship. The AMR25 has proven difficult for the two-time World Champion, leading to several mechanical failures and lost points throughout the season. Alonso’s latest DNF at Monza was due to a front-right suspension failure on Lap 25 of the race. Krack emphasized that safety is a priority for all teams in Formula 1, and no team would risk using older parts that could compromise driver safety. Amid his struggles, Alonso remains committed to Aston Martin until at least the end of the 2026 season, aiming to support the team in the Constructors’ Championship. Despite setbacks, Alonso believes he should have earned more points this season based on his performance.
