Aston Martin suffered a regression during this 2024 season. They started the year at least competitive in the standings, sneaking up. Fernando Alonso among the best, and now they cannot compete either on Saturday or in the Sunday races.
‘Auto Motor und Sport’ reveals the tests carried out in the United States, where They placed up to four different floors to see how the performance was.
And the result was terrible. Because The car was faster on Suzuka soil, i.e. at the start of the season.
At the American Grand Prix in Austin, they discovered that the top stage was only fast in a few corners and too slow in the rest.
A real disaster for Alonso, who also had to retire due to a temperature problem with his brakes. It was his 400th Grand Prix in Formula 1.
Brazil will not be Aston Martin’s theater either. It’s already a long way when, last year, Alonso managed to get on the podium after a titanic fight against the Sergio Pérez’s Red Bull. This is absolutely unthinkable. The green car is fighting, at most, to get into the points.
