The Spaniard, known for his competitive spirit, is finding it tough to break into the top-10 in the current season, with three races already behind him.
Alonso’s journey with McLaren in the past was also tumultuous, starting with three consecutive challenging seasons from 2015 to 2017.

Having enjoyed success in the past with three consecutive podium finishes in 2023, Alonso’s current struggles highlight the unpredictable nature of Formula 1. With a mindset of continuous improvement, Alonso is hopeful that the team can enhance the car’s performance to be more competitive in the upcoming races.
As Alonso navigates through his third season with Aston Martin, the road ahead is challenging but not insurmountable. With his wealth of experience and determination, Alonso remains a formidable force on the track, ready to overcome obstacles and strive for success in the races to come.
