How Aston Martin’s F1 season has gone off track
ts that Aston Martin is fully aware of its problems and is actively working to find solutions. The team has been using the pitlane starts as an opportunity to learn more about the car’s issues. Fernando Alonso has been unlucky with floor damage in two consecutive races, while Lance Stroll has faced gremlins and technical difficulties in practice sessions. Despite their earlier successes in the season, Aston Martin has fallen behind Mercedes, Ferrari, and McLaren in recent races. Alonso has slipped down to fifth place in the championship standings and expects to be demoted further by his competitors. The team introduced updates for the US GP, but struggled to optimize the cars in the sprint format and ultimately had to start from the pitlane. Alonso’s race in Mexico was hampered by damage early on, leading to retirement, while Stroll’s race ended in contact and retirement. Aston Martin recognizes the challenges they are facing and is working to overcome them, despite the setbacks.
