Fernando Alonso has been concerned about Aston Martin’s direction recently, but the F1 Brazilian Grand Prix helped defuse the situation.
After a strong start to the campaign, Aston Martin suffered a setback after a series of updates didn’t seem to work right away. It took a few races for the innovation at the American GP to take effect, requiring a start from the pit lane.
However, things got a little better in Brazil, with both Aston Martin cars looking sharp and Alonso eventually winning a head-to-head battle with Red Bull’s Sergio Perez to take the podium. It was the team’s first podium finish since the Zandvoort weekend. After summer vacation is over.
Amidst the difficulties, Alonso admitted he was worried about the direction they were heading in, especially looking ahead to 2024, but the Spaniard was relieved to have found some pace in Brazil. “It’s very beautiful,” he said. “I think we’ve had problems the last few months, but his last two races were probably pretty painful.
“We had to experiment a little bit with some things with the car to really understand what direction we wanted to go in. We also have to make decisions about next year’s car.” , those races were painful, especially in Mexico. I think we were very slow as a team, as a performance, and yeah, I think it’s great to see everyone on the team so focused, the team’s determination from the outside looking in, It was so great to see them go deep into analysis and analysis and come back stronger here at Interlagos.
“It was nice in a way to be on the scene from the outside and see everyone heading in the same direction.” And certainly, I’ve been at the scene for the last few races, and probably the end of the championship. I was definitely a little worried about that part. Now, yes, I can’t wait to go to Vegas. So when you have a powerful car, the energy is completely different,” Alonso summarized.
With two laps left, Alonso is hoping for a good result. They won’t be able to regain the fourth place they lost to McLaren, but they can score more points. When asked if this format could continue, he answered, “I think so.” “At least it’s closer than Mexico, for sure. I think there’s some understanding within the team and a direction we need to go in. We had some expectations for Brazil, but it turned out that It turns out that my prediction was correct.
“Okay, why not be competitive in the last two? I don’t know if it will reach podium level or not. We had a good race in Brazil. Apparently Charles on the formation lap They seemed to be in trouble, with Mercedes’ performance below average and the Czechs starting last, but there were several factors that helped them get on the podium. But, I hope this is a happy place for us. ”
