Aston Martin surprisingly brought no performance upgrades to the Miami Grand Prix, but Fernando Alonso is not concerned.
Fernando Alonso defended Aston Martin’s decision not to bring upgrades to the Miami Grand Prix, citing the budget cap era as a reason not to “waste money.” Despite the five-week break between races, Aston Martin chose to focus on reducing vibrations in their car rather than introducing performance upgrades. This decision surprised many as Ferrari brought 11 upgrades to the race. At the Miami Grand Prix, Alonso noted a reduction in vibrations and achieved a season-high finish of 15th. The team plans to hold off on major upgrades until after the summer break, prioritizing significant improvements over incremental changes. Alonso expressed understanding of the situation, emphasizing the need for substantial upgrades to make a real impact on the team’s performance and position in the midfield.
