Aston Martin arrived in the United States with an upgraded package but things haven’t gone its way so far this weekend
Fernando Alonso admits that Aston Martin is facing consequences for introducing a new car package at the United States Grand Prix Sprint weekend. The team made updates to their car, including modifications to the floor and diffuser, but faced limited practice time due to Lance Stroll’s brake issue. Both Alonso and Stroll were eliminated in the first qualifying segment and failed to make it to the top 10 in the Sprint Shootout. Aston Martin’s performance has been declining lately, despite a strong start to the season, and Alonso believes that they won’t score any points this weekend. He acknowledges that the team took a risk by bringing the new package with minimal practice time, and they are now paying the price for it. However, Alonso emphasizes that their goal is to win, not just score points occasionally, and hopes that the bold decision will pay off in the long run.
