Fernando Alonso He lived a career that was more tense than eventful. The Asturian driver keeps pace with the Mercedes and McLaren in an Aston Martin when in principle the performance is low. However, the Spaniard managed to hold off Russell for most of the race and crossed the finish line.
The Spaniard ended up being very pleased with the AMR24’s performance and the improvement compared to Bahrain. “Sometimes, some results are not valued. The fifth seems like a normal result, not fu or fa, as they say, but I don’t think this is where we should be.. From Bahrain we made a small step here, we will still try to qualify but we must improve the pace of the race for the next GPs,” he explained in remarks reported by ‘Marca’.
“I had a great rival George Russell is the whole race and I can’t be wrong. I wanted to keep him more than a second behind, so they were very mentally demanding laps, even touching the wall there at one point. Happy with the result, very happy.”
There is still work to be done on AMR24
Despite this obvious improvement in race pace, this is clearly Aston Martin’s Achilles tendon. Alonso revealed that they will continue to “bring things” to the upcoming events and continued to compare himself to what McLaren did last year.
“I think we are three or four tenths short of evolution car, to carry parts that give us three or four tenths. If you have three or four tenths, the races start to change direction and you start to have the rhythm that they have,” he said.
