Aston Martin confirmed that a suspension failure led to Fernando Alonso’s premature retirement from the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix, with the issue stemming from an incident on the opening lap and worsening until a sudden failure on Lap 24 in Monza. Debris hitting several parts of Alonso’s car compromised the suspension, ultimately robbing him of a potential points-scoring finish as the veteran driver expressed frustration with the continued bad luck in the 2025 season. Alonso sits 12th in the Drivers’ Championship heading into the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, just two points behind his teammate Lance Stroll, with Aston Martin chasing Williams in the Constructors’ Championship standings. Despite the setback at Monza, the team will aim to bounce back and make up ground at the upcoming race in Baku.
