This is clearly the beginning of Formula 1 World Cup 2024 It’s not too hopeful Fernando Alonso as achieved last season. The podium this time is very far with up to four teams (Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes and McLaren) before the performance of Aston Martin and the two-time champion can only be the ninth.
Despite not achieving the podium achieved in the inaugural race in 2023, the Asturian was happy with the performance of the AMR24. This is clear The goal of this campaign is not to lose speed in the development of the car, the big headache last year.
“Last year we gave everything at the beginning of the season and then we couldn’t react to the high pace of the leading teams. This year we have more hope in the second part of the championship. I have faith. I am happy. Now it is up to us to give a sort of ‘McLaren 2023 step’ and become a stronger team,” he explained to Motorsport-Total.com.
Right now, the British team is a bit in no man’s land. The McLarens were 18 seconds ahead of Alonso while the first Sauber was half a minute behind. To catch up with those in Woking and Mercedes, improvements will need to be introduced.
“Obviously Last year we did not reach these development goals and this campaign we must improve on that“Alonso said in the press conference before the GP. In this way, it is clear where the efforts of Aston Martin are focused.
The leader pointed in the same direction
Mike Krack, the director of the Silverstone team, spoke along the same lines, saying that it should not be taken for granted that this year should have the same order as seen in the inaugural event: “I would not say that we turn off the television now; andIn 24 races, as we saw last year, you can evolve, you can recover“, he said in statements collected by Motorsport.com.
Of course, the one from Luxembourg also commented that self-evaluation should be prioritized before starting the rest of the teams. “When you have a new car, lor the first thing you need to do is look at yourself, and try to identify where we need to improvewhen we have to do it.”
