Alonso, more vision improvements and pointing to a circuit: “I wonder how we are going there”

Aston Martin He has taken a step forward with his first evolution package showed four races, in Imola. The green car has disappeared from becoming one of the worst of the grill in the first races of the season, suffering to enter Q2, to continue to fight Q3, a goal achieved by Fernando Alonso since the last four appointments.

And now, the green team is preparing for more news.

Confirmation after 4 races

Weeks ago, Andy Cowell, head of Aston Martin, has already taught Silverstonewithin two races. There, just in front of the headquarters of the green set, new pieces should arrive, in a quick curve circuit where Fernando Alonso has a special interest in seeing how his vehicle works, as the pilot itself argues after the Canada GP.

Alonso reached Gilles Villeneuve Last Thursday with the aim of seeing if the step forward of evolutions was confirmed. In ImolaAlonso may be 5 in the classification and as he said CowellThe car has improved “with all the curves.” But there was a question of knowing if it was a punctual thing, in a very decaying circuit where it was difficult to draw conclusions. In addition, Alonso marked his Chrono of ‘Quali’ taking advantage of the fact that the middle tire was better than soft, something that could hide the car’s reality.

There, in Isola, Cowell has emphasized that despite the step forward, there are still things to improve, such as the rhythm of the career and the rubber damage. And Alonso realizes that the important problem of short speed has not been resolved, something that forced him to look for excessive unusual points instead of getting them in the DRs line. In addition, after ‘Quali’, Fernando said the car was still difficult to squeeze the limit.

Then Monaco came and the performance in an Asturian twist was again great, with a wonderful -6 -grade. Again, again, Have doubts because the chief’s clue is very concrete And there you can’t draw many conclusions. In fact, when MD asked Fernando Alonso if his good performance was more important that the car gives him a confident attack or his hips and his will to risk everything despite the end against the wall, Asturian said that “Instead the second.”

Barcelona, ​​one of the most representative circuits for its types of curves, is again good at a turn for Fernando, Again in Q3And finally he can get into a dot zone, though helped by a safety car. It began to confirm that the car had made a good jump up to a turn, but it had to improve in a running rhythm and peak speed, as Ovetense had the worst tip of grill and simulation, before the race, it was indicated that it did not have a top-10 car for the breed of such damage.

If he succeeded, it was for his impetus, following pushing despite an initial exit exit that occurred for over -wearing tires. Those points do not understand either without cunning of Alonso to cook their seizure at other points such as curve 3 or 4 because he cannot move forward in accordance with his lack of tip. Alonso warned it after that career: The team has to move forward in that aspect to avoid repeating the juggling throughout the course of electricity “and moved on to Drs” as left.

And finally, The final confirmation came to Canada. Alonso finished the 6th class and ended the 8th of the career, leading the central zone, but still needed a higher speed.

Austria, hard, and the look is set to silverstone

However, The Spaniards warned that what happened in Canada and the result should not indicate that Aston Martin should seek to rule the central zone from now on. It depends on the careers and the performance of improvements introduced, without forgetting what their opponents can do.

And, surely, Lack of straight speed can you suffer more than Austriawith two very long straight. On the contrary Put the place in Silverstone, which can be a great route for the green car by step forward made AMR25 in a fast curveAs seen in isola, due to the lack of long straight from the English track, And also for the arrival of new pieces that could mean another qualified jump. Although it is necessary to see how much.

“I think Canada is a great circuit for us”Alonso told ‘Dazn’, that his results in Gilles Villeneuve were also clear because the characteristics of this track came to his team. “We know that from the next races that came to the calendar, Canada was the sweetest of us and we took advantage of it. When there is a career that is good for the car, in general, you will not miss the opportunity, Because we know that a little more cruel career will come ”he added.

And of course, one of the “difficult” careers can be Austria. When asked about the next two trials, Alonso had no doubt and was excited for Silverstone’s career.

“With Silverstone I’m interested about how the car is going there, in a quick curve, it’s the GP of the house, with a factory at 200 meters. In Austria I think we can suffer a little more. From the next double (of races), to Silverstone this is where we have a little hope and we have a new piece. We’ll add, keep adding Q3, but as I said: In these last races, both in Barcelona and here, on Saturday they are better than Sunday and we must understand the reason and improve the race rhythm ”He’s done.

Improvement of classification: Alonso can now attack

In class, the step is clearly forward. In recent races, Fernando said the car was still difficult to pile, even though he was allowed to attack more. And its proof is that he can do it in Monaco, between the walls, where you always need confidence to do so. Most of those results were in Alonso’s hands and the dangers he wanted to take between the walls, but the car responded to the demands of Asturian hands and rhythm. And in Canada, after the classification, he was corroborated with his words that he could finally attack his car, something he couldn’t do last year, or at the beginning of this season.

“I’m happy. We’re in a nice driving moment and sensation along with the car. At the beginning of the year I think more challenges, I find it difficultThere is a curve that is too much from the front, another from the back, one back in one way, another in another, it is very confusing. And from Icola, with the new package (aerodynamic) I think we’ve achieved a little more connection between pilot and car “Explained Saturday.

“Now that I can push it to the fullest, I feel what the car needs and we have four Q3s in the meal. So, this is a good time. You need to take advantage of it and expand it as much as possible and most of all confirm it in the career with some point, “added a Fernando who was able to prove to jump into the week’s race.

But he did this clearly for the team: there were some skinny points that had to be seen if the next races were resolved with the arrival of new pieces. The rhythm in a long twist remains one of the points to improve, but in spite of this, the perfect implementation of Alonso’s race and his team, with the right approach, served so that Ovetense not only ended 8º, but could take advantage of Norris’ abandonment of being 7º.

Novelty, keys thinking about 2026

Now, the green picture puts its focus on the arrival of noveltys in the next career, the second after the isola.

These pieces are not just short -TERM keys to the team and its performance this year. Especially, they are so that the team’s morals continue to rise in front of 2026. After more than two years without being able to change the car, Adding two consecutive evolutionary packages that the work will be a confirmation that the sum has corrected that its mistakes of developing and knowing how to change a car.

In addition, it will also indicate the excellent performance of New wind tunnelBecause it served as perfect the final details of the package that came to Icola and in it the next pieces that would come to the following appointments were fully created.

All of this will be the best news for Adrian Newey, the design of the genius that should create a new regulation of 2026, a car Fernando Alonso hopes to fight against the new F1 season.
