P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Fernando Alonso suffered his worst qualifying result of the year, dropping out of the session at the end of Q1.
Fernando Alonso expressed his disappointment with Aston Martin’s qualifying performance at the United States Grand Prix and acknowledged that the rest of the weekend would serve as a test. He will start the race from 17th place, marking the first time this season that he has not made it into the top 10. Aston Martin brought their final major updates for the year, but limited running time and brake issues during practice affected their performance. Alonso mentioned that the out-lap was not ideal due to traffic, and they went into qualifying with too many unknowns on how to operate the new car package. Teammate Lance Stroll also faced brake issues and had minimal practice time, ultimately falling out in Q1 for the second consecutive race.
