Fernando Alonso is in high spirits over Aston Martin’s 2024 Formula 1 car after pre-season testing in Bahrain.
Fernando Alonso praised Aston Martin’s 2024 Formula 1 car as a significant improvement over its predecessor.
Last year, the team showed promise with six podium finishes in the initial eight races but faced a performance decline later in the season.
Despite this, Alonso secured more top-three finishes in the latter part of the campaign, marking notable progress for the team that finished seventh in the Constructors’ Championship in 2022.
Alonso’s positive feedback on the AMR24 indicates the team’s determination to surpass its previous achievements, having climbed to fifth place in the standings last season.
The competitive landscape in Formula 1 is expected to be tight and intense this year, according to Alonso, as teams continue to refine their car designs and concepts.
The Spaniard wrapped up Aston Martin’s testing in Bahrain with 75 laps under his belt, describing the experience as intense due to the condensed nature of the testing schedule over three days.
