Alonso doesn’t anticipate swift Aston Martin F1 turnaround but hopes for a New….

Aston Martin started last season as Red Bull’s closest rival and a regular podium scorer, but the team was unable to sustain that momentum and slipped to fifth place.

Despite introducing the most upgrades among all F1 teams in 2024, Aston Martin has not reduced the gap to the leading quartet and instead drifted back towards RB.

Alonso has not advanced past Q1 or scored points since Aston Martin brought a sizeable update package to Imola, with suspicions the AMR24 is now harder to drive.

These two weekends have been crucial to understand our weaknesses, to understand the car, to improve,” Alonso said after finishing outside the points in Monaco.

“In the difficulties, you always draw more conclusions than in the victories, so we are learning a lot I think for the rest of the year, 2025 and 2026.

The two-time champion doesn’t expect a fast turnaround, explaining that it will take “a few races” for his team to bring his next notable performance upgrade package.

Nonetheless, Alonso also revealed that Aston Martin will keep bringing small innovations to almost each race weekend, including Canada and his home race in Spain
