In 2024, Aston Martin’s results show a downward trajectory. At the FIA press conference in Qatar, Fernando Alonso admitted that the results were far from expected, but the team had identified issues that they would solve in the 2025 car.
Fernando Alonso: “We were not able to improve the car significantly during the season. We started the year well and now we are struggling to reach the qualifying finals. All these problems have taught the team many lessons that we will apply to next year’s car. I think this is the most important positive result of the second half of the season.
Yes, we failed to make the car faster, but we understand our problems and will solve them in 2025.”
When asked whether he sees himself among Max Verstappen’s rivals for the title, Fernando Alonso expressed hope that he can compete among the leaders in 2026: “It would be great to be in a position where we can challenge for the title to fight. We’re not in that shape at the moment, and it’s unlikely to be the case next year, but I’m hoping for 2026 when the regulations change and we get a chance.
Max proves that he basically has no weaknesses. He always achieves results in races and earns a lot of points when the car is not only fast, but also when it is not competitive enough. This is the strong trait that can help you win the title. And you always think that if you have the chance to win the title, it will be difficult.”
