Fernando Alonso says Aston Martin’s recent upgrade package marks a “significant step forward” and has eased pressure on the team after a difficult start to the F1 season.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Aston Martin have endured a difficult sta🔯rt to the 2025 F1 seasဣon.

While 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lance Stroll waওs able to secure 14 points in the opening two r💧aces, Aston Martin were one of the slowest teams in the first part of the season.

An upgrade introduced at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix has seen Aston Martin move up the pecking order, even if they’ve not been ✅able to score points.

Remarkably, Alonso hasn’t got off the m♔ark yet in 2025.

Poor strateཧgy cost Alonso and Stroll points at Imola.

Alonso was on course for a top eightꦺ finish in Monte Carlo b🅷efore an engine issue.

“The Imola ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚpackage was a step forward but we didn’t know how much. We were coming to Barcelona to answer that question and I think the answer is positive.

“The answer is that it’s a significant step forward and the car can be in the fight for Q3s at least on a normal raꦅce track, and that’s obviously a different 🅷story than pre-Miami.”

It looked ꦗlike Alonso was going to q෴ualify higher than 10th.

After his initial runꦯ in Q3, Alonso was in the top five before dropping the ordꦚer.

Like 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc, Al๊onso had just one set of tyres remaining for the final part of qualifying.

“There🍃 was not much more in it,” Alonso added. “When𝓰 you’re into Q3 in a very short lap within one tenth you can be seventh or 10th. Unfortunately, we’re the third of that. Happy. The whole weekend we’ve been in the top 10 positions. Inall of the practice sessions and in qualifying as well.

“This was a real test for us because I think at Imola we used the medium tyres. I𒊎n Monaco, it’s such a special🙈 place. Barcelona - the truth will come out in Barcelona and the truth is we’ve made the car better since Imola. We cannot forget where we came from.

“In Miami, we were probably the 10th fastest team. We finished 20 seconds behind Sauber in the race so definitely some steps in the right direction﷽.”
