Fernando Alonso issues Aston Martin instruction after latest ‘frustrating’ failure
Fernando Alonso instructed his Aston Martin team to prioritize “points” over “performances” after his recent retirement in the Italian Grand Prix. Despite running ahead of Gabriel Bortoleto, who finished eighth, Alonso’s race was cut short due to a suspension failure post pit-stop. This retirement, his first since Monaco GP, would have allowed him to climb to ninth in the standings if not for the unfortunate incident. Alonso expressed frustration at his string of bad luck, citing technical issues in races where he was poised to score valuable points. While attention is shifting to the team’s 2026 project, Alonso remains focused on improving results and overcoming the challenges of inconsistent luck on race weekends.
