Fernando Alonso's dire warning for Aston Martin's F1 team

Published 2024-06-26
“It’s time to work harder, to talk less, to deliver more”, he said after a pointless Spanish Grand Prix.
He’s not expecting things to go better in Austria either. He anticipates the Red Bull Ring will be a “painful” track for Aston Martin because of the long corners and high-speed sections.
So why, only two months after committing his long-term Formula 1 future to Aston Martin, has Alonso drawn attention to the team’s travails so publicly?

Insert obligatory fire Lance Stroll comment here
-
Aston's #1 problem has always been understanding their car.
-
Alonso praying for a Brawn gp situation for 2026. Win like 9 races and hope the car is good enough throughout the season for consistent top 6 finishing possiitons because Aston Martin does not know how to upgrade a car! 😭
-
It is hard to see AM as serious as long as Lance Stroll is taking a seat.
-
Performance is relative. Aston Martin made a massive jump in 2022 from the beginning to the end of the season. But it's easy to upgrade when the car is bad. Aston aren't bad at making a good car, they are bad at keeping up with the big teams.
-
Car feels good. Much slower than before. Amazing.
-
Nobody ever misses an opportunity to say "Mike Crack"
-
Every upgrade Aston brings they get slower
-
Newey needs to go to Williams. That’s a movie level story. Leaving RB and going back to Williams and winning? Cmon
-
Ohhhh, come on Fernando. Stroll Sr. is busy keeping Stroll Jr. in the sport. You think he cares how the car performs?
-
Alonso and Sainz would be such a good duo
-
This is known as the law of diminishing returns. It’s relatively easier to go from 9th to 5th but that much harder to go from 5th to 3rd.
-
When your car struggles in long corners and slow speed sections… you gotta wonder where it excels 😂
-
Newey is not the magic bullet people think he is. His core strengths work to ground effect cars (early 1990s, early 2010s and 2022-) where he excels. The next rule set is more engine and mechanical grip dependent so Newey's skills might not matter as much. It could be another engine formula like 2014 was....
-
It’s not the main problem but when is Lawrence Stroll going to bite the bullet and get rid of his son and get a driver who can actually score decent points.
-
"AM is going backwards" *relatively*, in an incredibly tight pack where convergence is now real.
-
Sorry, Fernando. Unless Lance complains, Daddy doesn't care.
-
It says something above how incredible the achievement of Eddie Jordan that late 90s is still the best period of this teams history
-
When the team was Force India and Merc / Red Bull / Ferrari were dominating at the front, they got a crazy amount of podiums. Now that the team is spending just as much money as them and the competition is much closer, they can't get anywhere near the front and get worse every year? (Discounting 2023) There's no way Lawrence Stroll fully knows what he's doing... (as if that wasn't obvious enough from keeping Lance as the driver and forcing everyone to talk about him like he's the next Senna)
-
Totally agree. They've been going backwards for a year now. No excuse. The guys have to become a team. Poor qualifying each and every race. Setup in q1 is way off always. Need a faster car with better setups. McLaren is eating their lunch. They gotta get serious.
