Aston Martin driver Fernando Alonso had mixed feelings about his eighth-place result in the Formula 1 Qualifying at the United States Grand Prix.
Alonso struggled in the Sprint, finishing 18th after starting 14th, using it as a practice session to understand the new AMR24. He made it to the Q3 shootout on Saturday, but wasn’t fully convinced of the car’s performance. Despite some improvements, the Aston Martin remains challenging to drive, with work still needed before Mexico.
