Alonso revealed the main weakness of his Aston Martin de F1

Fernando Alonso He arrived at Japan GP of F1 this weekend in Suzuka with the aim of locking new points this season, in the third race of course, and able to continue studying from his car crossing the end line after leaving Australia, where he suffered an accident when he saw himself gravel in one of the curves, and in China, where he ran out of the branch.

On the afternoon track, before one of the most thanks to the most thanks to the asphalt, he showed the characteristics of his Aston Martin AMR25. The purpose of the team when creating this car is to resolve the basic weaknesses of the 2024 car and have a better basis for a development that has not been successful in recent times. And at first, Ovetense confirmed what he said in the preseason test “It’s more elaborate,” allows you to have “more confidence” and play in the settings over the weekend to maximize their performance.

But his rivals also improved, and left a similar image on the track in one of the late 2024: Aston Martin’s place was to resist the points in a half -drawing central place where every detail was counted.

At that point, in statements published by the ‘Marca’ newspaper, he admitted that his car’s main weakness was “the slow curves.”

“There are some positive aspects, without doubt, but there are also some aspects to correct”Alonso said to start his explanation about his 2025 car. “I think we have become more competitive in China than in Australia, in the same career we have fought for points, which is more or less in the same situation as last year in Abu Dhabi (last race of 2024). So I don’t think the panorama has not changed much, the teams are simple, more tight. “

“We need to optimize the car, the tune and approach. Everything needs to be perfect every weekend if we want to score. I think maybe will be a panorama for the rest of the weather “, Adpense added despite the options that Aston Martin had to continue improving the car over the year.

“We need a lot of different circuits and curves. I will say that the car still has more or less of the same properties, the same strengths and weaknesses. Perhaps, it only reduces some of the car’s margins between the car between the circuits and even between the laps, and I think this year we are better. We have a car where we can trust more and we can experience a little of adjustments to get the results we are looking for. But I think slow curves are still weak points, both from the car last year and the car this year “Ovetense confirmed.

Year of Moving Despite Newey

Lots of conversations about the possibility that Adrian Newey. In fact, this is the main team of the green picture, Andy Cowell. However, Fernando Alonso said in his previous response that he did not believe that his car’s position (fight for points) would change throughout the course and not expect a mysterious change thanks to Newey.

Spanish shows that the best car designer in history will not waste much time in the current carAlthough he did not deny the idea that he could contribute any idea by knowing everything that happens in the current car and participating in team meetings.

“I think he’s more focused on the car next year. But I’m sure he follows races and factory meetings. Obviously, you can’t be fully disconnected from the car this year. I have no knowledge of Adrian Newey’s good idea for this year’s car. He’s focused on the car next year, but I’m sure he sometimes talks to try to improve it, “Fernando said.

The Bicampeón of F1 (2005 and 2006) has recalled that for sets that were not fighting for successes at the start of this course, the year 2025 should be a time of transition and the key was in the creation of a car by 2026, that of new regulations, for the major change of policies next year, with different cars. Start 2026 with good feet can mark the next courses of all and Aston Martin focuses. On the other hand, offering time and money sources in 2025 car can only contribute some positions, something not enough for Aston Martin, whose goal is to win, something possible in 2026 if they give their car key, but not for this course.

“This is normal in F1. Ever there is an important change of regulations, the previous period has been relatively suspended for many teams. If you are not fighting for the World Cup, where you can only compete with three or four teams, for the rest it’s a season where you try to prepare the next and not only improve the car this year, but all in general and the organization, to be prepared for a better chance. So, I think we can be at that stage, “he said in the statements that collect the ‘brand’.

Aston Martin has to grab the machine and coordinate all the work of the new factory and its new tools, especially in the new wind tunnel and simulator, in addition to the perfection of many engineers who come in sets. However, there is a key point: It is important that Aston Martin has shown that the new pieces leading to tracking the next appointments will assume some improvement To clearly 2026 solved their development problems.
