Alonso is not shaken by Aston Martin’s sudden drop in speed. Fernando Alonso stated that Aston Martin has “a strategy” and is “more confident than in previous months” despite facing a “difficult” Spanish Formula 1 Grand Prix. Aston Martin’s regression since the middle of last season has continued in 2024, with the team falling to the midfield instead of reaching the leaders. The team introduced updates in Imola that did not bring the expected progress, and Alonso has only scored points once in the last four races. Alonso had a challenging race in his home country last weekend, exiting in Q2 along with his teammate Lance Stroll and finishing a distant 12th. However, despite suggesting that Aston Martin does not fully understand the current AMR24, he remains optimistic that the team will recover from this setback. “We have tested various configurations and these cars behave differently in long corners,” said Alonso. “I think our car was behaving very differently in Bahrain. After introducing the first set of updates, we slightly changed the characteristics of the car to mitigate the settings, and we are gaining a better understanding. But as soon as you understand the package, the next one comes and resets everything. As I mentioned, now we have a plan and we will see if it leads to better results, but we are more confident than in previous months.” Alonso expressed that he is “calm” about Aston Martin’s loss of competitiveness, noting that the British team is still growing as a whole. “I think it’s a matter of understanding the car. We must not forget that last year’s car was the first designed by this new technical team,” he emphasized. “We are trying to improve the car’s performance, but sometimes we have not made significant progress and have made the car more challenging and difficult to drive. They have been working together for a year and a half, and everything is still evolving at the highest level, which puts us in a strong position for the future. So I am very calm, but the present is what matters in races, and today the present is Barcelona, and undoubtedly it is painful, but I am calm about the performance.” Meanwhile, Aston Martin boss Mike Krack explained how the sequence of three races is complicating the team’s efforts to deal with its limitations in long and winding corners. “That’s one of the challenges we face. Now we have five races in six weeks,” Krack said. “After Monaco, Imola, and Canada, where we scored 14 points, by the way, with the same car, we gained a lot of understanding, but the challenge is in fixing them. We don’t have time. That’s the main problem right now. So we have to persevere, extract the best performance from the car every weekend, and bring those parts as quickly as possible.”
