Alonso: Aston Martin F1 troubles now ‘more black and white’

Aston Martin produced a more competitive showing at Silverstone.

Fernando Alonso reckons Aston Martin has a “much more black and white” understanding as to the reason behind earlier Formula 1 upgrades not working as desired.

Aston Martin’s endeavour to stem the regression that epitomised its past campaign came undone when an update package at Imola delivered unintended limitations.

The Silverstone-based squad’s AMR24 ended up more difficult to drive and resulted in a slump in competitiveness which comprised two points finishes in five rounds.

But Lance Stroll provided a positive assessment of Aston Martin’s woes as he disclosed the team was on a correction course to solve a wrong development direction.

Aston Martin has managed to maintain a strong hold on fifth place in the championship as RB behind has endured trouble which has prompted it to abandon updates.

However, while he has concurred with his team-mate’s comments, Alonso has insisted that Aston Martin has to focus on its work rather than what its rivals are doing.

“I think we need to focus on ourselves, and I didn’t check who had problems or what happened in other teams,” Alonso contended.

“I think we have a very clear idea of ourselves at the moment.

“As I said, I think it was back in Barcelona. Until that, we were maybe a little bit more… Not confused, but we were more trying and testing and just understanding things.

“And since a few races ago, I think everything is much more black and white for us, So it’s a little bit easier… I don’t know what the other teams are facing.”

Alonso believes Aston Martin is back on the right path with development.

Aston Martin introduced a revised front wing design at Silverstone which, along with mixed weather conditions, helped inspire the team to bag a double points result.

Alonso – who came home in eighth, one place behind team-mate Stroll – suggested that Aston Martin has now returned to the level it was competing at prior to Imola.

“It was pretty good, I mean, the feeling was back to normality,” Alonso said.

“We were the fifth, sixth fastest team. Nico [Hulkenberg] I think was very fast the whole weekend, but we could fight for points.

“Seventh and eighth, I think it’s more or less the positions we were in pre-Imola. We came back to our more natural position, so I’m happy for that.

“It has been better; after Austria we regrouped a little bit, we understood a couple of directions that maybe were not right.

“As I said, we’re happy to be back in the points, it felt more competitive.”

The Spaniard was critical towards the team last month in Spain as he urged Aston Martin to “talk less” and “deliver more” when it comes to discussing new upgrades.

With the British marque poised to bring more parts to the next two events, Alonso has again called on Aston Martin to work in silence to avoid being burned in public.

“We need to prove it; we need to not talk and deliver the results,” Alonso reiterated.

“We’ve been bringing in a lot of new parts to the car and some of them they work, some of them they didn’t. Hopefully, in Hungary we have a positive surprise.”
