Fernando Alonso For weeks he has been covering up in his results (from Zandvoort) the many weaknesses of his car and a worse performance than his rivals, putting the car in the points or fighting for them who are not ready to pursue that goal . at this point in the championship.
Asturian insisted on the need for Aston Martin bring evolutions important ones on the track since the event in the Netherlands. He does not do this in the form of criticism, because he recognizes all the time that the team gives everything for it. But yes to ask the designers and factory employees Silverstone that they put in a sixth gear to bring new and necessary parts as soon as possible to fight with bigger weapons against the teams in the middle zone who have surpassed Aston Martin in the evolution of their cars throughout the year.
And after achieving 8th position in Singapore, the man from Oviedo pressed on. Alonso reiterated the need “level up” and take some “3 or 4 tenths” with a new precise package that allows the team to correct the course and finish the year leading the middle zone, a position where the car started in 2024. All this, with the main goal of starting 2025 from with a better starting point in a car that would be a pure evolution of the current one.
Alonso asked the team
“We got points in Baku and Singapore because they are two urban circuits where we did a good time trial and where everything went right, but When we get to a normal circuit with normal performance (like the next one in Austin), now we don’t have the speed to get points and we have to raise the level“Alonso warns ‘DAZN’.
Krack confirms the arrival of improvements
Mike Krack, Team Principal of the Aston Martin team, confirmed to ‘DAZN’ that those pieces are about to fall. “Improvements in later races? Yes, yes. we have “We continued to work on the car and now have a long break (three weeks) that will allow us to finish everything and bring updates to the next races.”revealed the head of the team, confirming the good news for Alonso in the absence of verification that this time the pieces work and represent a necessary step forward for the first time in this campaign.
“We are the 7th or 8th team, we need 3 or 4 tenths”
“All the rankings we have internally for the team indicate that we are the 7th or 8th team. So we have to be in the 15th or 16th position, That’s what we have in terms of benefits. I spoke to Nico (Hülkenberg) yesterday after the time trial and he also told me that they (Haas) are the fifth team for them. If you talk to Williams, they are also the 5th team. So what is certain is that we are not the 5th best team and we put in two good performances in the last few circuits, but that cannot cover up the lack of performance that we had. “We know this, we want improvements and to see if we can do it in the next race,” Alonso added.
“Evolutions? We need them. We need new pieces and we need to find 3 or 4 tenths if we want to rule that middle group again”added Fernando.
“The team is doing everything possible. And the drivers too: when we have a car, it’s good, and when we don’t have a car, like these last races, we have to keep fighting to get points,” the pilot ended. He made it clear that both he and the racing team are giving their best and that the factory must do the same to take steps forward.
