Fernando Alonso knew Aston Martin’s strong Friday showing at the Dutch Grand Prix was unlikely to continue into qualifying. Despite a promising start, Alonso ended up starting the race in 10th, with teammate Lance Stroll at the back after crashing in Q1 without setting a lap time. The Spaniard believes the team’s recent performance reflects their overall theme in 2025, showing glimpses of competitiveness in practice sessions. Alonso attributes their strong Friday performances to potentially running lower fuel loads compared to other teams, giving them an early advantage. Their goal for the weekend was to make it to Q3 and score points on Sunday, which they achieved by starting in the top 10 for the race. Alonso remains optimistic about the team’s progress, pointing to recent upgrades that have improved the car’s performance since the Hungarian Grand Prix.
