Fernando Alonso's dire warning for Aston Martin's F1 team

Рет қаралды 235,782

Күн бұрын

Fernando Alonso has fired a warning shot at the underperforming Aston Martin team.
“It’s time to work harder, to talk less, to deliver more”, he said after a pointless Spanish Grand Prix.
He’s not expecting things to go better in Austria either. He anticipates the Red Bull Ring will be a “painful” track for Aston Martin because of the long corners and high-speed sections.
So why, only two months after committing his long-term Formula 1 future to Aston Martin, has Alonso drawn attention to the team’s travails so publicly?

Aston improved from the back of the field to challenging McLaren and Alpine by the end of 2022. Then they became the second fastest team at the start of 2023. It’s not easy to improve the second fastest team. The driver change from 2022 to 2023 is the only downgrade: “The driver is one of the best sensors. We’ve got some very good tools and software, but the driver input is key. He’s very motivational, he’s a lovely human being. He pushes everyone in every area, and he’s helped us lift our game.”

When the team was Force India and Merc / Red Bull / Ferrari were dominating at the front, they got a crazy amount of podiums.

(Discounting 2023) There's no way Lawrence Stroll fully knows what he's doing...

Same with the 2014 engine regulations. In both cases tho, one team knew every little detail of those regulations. In 2014, it was Mercedes. In 2022, Red Bull. In both cases, the team in question was lobbying the FIA to have rules written to favor them and their strengths. And now for 2026, the rules were written around Audi (although this time Audi didn’t lobby the FIA). So much so in fact that the 2026 engine regulations produce a power unit that is operationally very similar to the unit Audi already runs in DAKAR. With this in mind, it becomes clear who’s dominating in F1 next. F1 isn’t about who’s got the best engineers. It’s about who’s got the biggest pockets and the best negotiation skills so they can buy their way to victory. Utter bullshit

Not Stroll but Drugovich. He's their test/reserve driver and the driver putting in the most development work.

Nah it’s Alonso - he’s historically been a poor development driver as nearly every team he’s been in gets worse the longer he’s in it. Aston Martin need to do the opposite of whatever he says. Alonso: “The car needs more understeer”. Make the car more oversteery!

@@paperplane-db8qf worst take I’ve ever seen he’s currently got triple the amount of points as stroll And in 2022 when the car was competitive he scored on the podium in 8/9 of the first 9 races and stroll was barely getting the car in the points at all

@@paperplane-db8qfThe development of these cars is much more complicated, than just “good/bad” driver feedback. I’m all for admitting the ire Stroll receives is rarely warranted, but let’s not start tearing Alonso down to balance it out. The man is a monster behind the wheel, he has 100% earned the respect he is given.

Lance has to go?

mathematically each team has 10% probability of winning constructors championship. the fact that a dominant team exists, means that they have the intangibles that you dont have, and it's NOT development

Well Aston does need 2 drivers to develop a car. Instead they're too busy paying for the windows licker's damage and trying to glaze daddy stroll

C’mon let’s be realistic they have never been a top team since Racing Point. So they having a decent car in the past year might ve been development fluke.
