The Aston Martin driver was unable to participate in the second part of the qualifying session due to heavy damage to the front-left corner of the car. While navigating through Turn 2, his former teammate Esteban Ocon lost control and collided into the Aston, causing significant damage. Alonso managed to make it back to the pits with a puncture and suspension damage, while Ocon crashed into the barriers, resulting in a red flag and a 23-minute delay for track repairs. Both drivers have been summoned by the stewards for the incident. This setback comes after a strong performance by the Aston Martin team in Friday’s qualifying, with Stroll securing third place and Alonso in fourth. The team now faces uncertainties ahead of the sprint race, but Alonso remains optimistic and hopes for a good race. Stroll attributed his disappointing performance to encountering heavy traffic during his flying lap, which affected his overall result.
