Fernando Alonso has only accumulated 41 points in the current 2024 F1 season. The Aston Martin Racing driver is hoping for a pleasant surprise in his home race in Barcelona after a disappointing start to the year. Alonso’s performance for Aston Martin has been inconsistent on the grid, and the team itself has fallen short of their impressive standards from last season, currently occupying fifth place in the constructor’s championship. However, there was a glimmer of hope for the team at the Canadian Grand Prix, where they showed some pace despite challenging conditions.
Alonso has expressed that the team has been diligently working to improve the car and is confident in their prospects at the high-speed Barcelona circuit. He aims to score significant points with both cars in the Spanish GP. Aston Martin has only scored 59 points this season, with a significant portion of those points coming from Alonso’s performances. The team will now focus on maximizing their knowledge before the Spanish GP and will seek a good score on the 4.657 km track.
Regarding Aston Martin’s decline in performance this season, Lance Stroll, another driver for the team, has also struggled to find rhythm and grip on various circuits. Stroll’s inconsistency has been evident as he has only managed to score 19 points in nine races so far.
Aston Martin acknowledges the mistakes in their car but understands that resolving them will not happen overnight. The team will do their best to manage these issues and will rely on their drivers to achieve favorable results in the upcoming events.
