Fernando Alonso, from the Aston Martin F1 team, is anticipating a challenging weekend at the Miami Grand Prix. He believes that the characteristics of the circuit will not be favorable for the 2024 Formula 1 car. Alonso hopes that the weaknesses of the AMR24 will be exposed at the Miami International Autodrome and that they will have to wait for future races to be competitive. The car performs well in low-speed corners, but struggles on the long straights and high-speed corners of the Miami Formula 1 circuit. However, Alonso remains hopeful as the team has been able to exceed expectations in similar situations this season.
Alonso acknowledges that there have been circuits where they had high hopes but did not perform well, as well as circuits where they did not expect much but had a good performance. He suggests that they will have a better understanding of the car’s capabilities on tracks like Imola and Monaco. The team has some ideas to improve the car, especially for race day, and they plan to implement them. With limited practice time during the Sprint weekend, they will try to make the most of the free practice session on Sunday morning. However, Alonso admits that he expects a tough weekend in Miami.
Anche se Alonso ha mostrato un ritmo impressionante nelle qualifiche, l’Aston Martin ha faticato a mantenere quella prestazione lungo una gara. Spesso si trovano nelle ultime posizioni che danno punti. Questo contrasta con le caratteristiche della vettura dell’anno scorso, con Alonso che attribuisce il cambiamento alle diverse caratteristiche delle due vetture. La AMR24 potrebbe essere più esigente con le gomme e avere difficoltà con l’usura e la temperatura delle stesse, il che potrebbe essere una sfida nelle calde condizioni di Miami. Il team sta lavorando per migliorare la configurazione dal Giappone e ha più idee da testare durante il limitato tempo di prove a Miami.
