A year of ups and downs
A year ago, Fernando Alonso arrived at the Circuit de Catalunya with high hopes of securing his 33rd win. The Aston Martin was gliding across the asphalt, second only to the Red Bulls, which augured a promising future for Lawrence Stroll’s team. However, a year later, the situation has turned 180 degrees. The Aston Martin now finds itself at the bottom of the grid, even behind the Alpines and Hulkenberg’s Haas, a fall that seems to have no end.
Fernando Alonso expressed his resignation in the face of this situation, stating that there will be no significant improvements in the car’s performance. Despite expecting improvements both last year and at the start of this season, Alonso recognizes that the next few grands prix will be difficult and that scoring will be a challenge.
Aston Martin in trouble
The atmosphere at Aston Martin is negative. The car has not evolved as expected and has become increasingly difficult to handle. Despite having grip, Alonso acknowledges that the car presents challenges that must be accepted. The team faces the difficulty of maintaining motivation when the results are not favorable.
Despite the difficulties, Alonso has decided to accept the situation and maintain a positive attitude. Although the future seems uncertain, he is confident that the team will find solutions and improvements in the future.
Alonso’s future
Fernando Alonso tried to look for other options before renewing with Aston Martin, but he did not receive important offers. Even rumors of Adrian Newey joining the team are not enough to change his outlook, as Alonso will likely no longer be competing by then.
Despite the difficulties, Alonso remains optimistic and confident that the team will find long-term solutions. Although words are not enough, Alonso hopes that actions will demonstrate the team’s progress in the future.
