“Aston Martin will determine tonight whether to fit the upgrades to both cars.

It will be after analyzing the data.

Blandin points out that "there is a bit of a shortage of parts."

So Alonso will have absolutely no time with the upgrades even if they fit them tomorrow. Clown team giving the slower driver parts first, pitstop priority even though he was behind. Total bs

I don't get the programme they are doing? Did Alonso use a set of softs from FP1 in his first hot lap and has done a lap now with new softs?

Edit: the graphic shows he used mediums for his timed lap

Stroll clearly has the first driver role since Cowell joined as TP. Alonso said he had to find out through media he wasn't running updates this Friday. These are the little things you do if you want someone out.

Yup Stroll now gets number 1 priority because they are trying to push Alonso out early. He just needs to ignore that and hang on until 2026

He has a contract and will not just leave when Newey is about to deliver a good car. This year doesn’t matter so if they want to play these games then they can but they won’t be able to back stroll again in 2026

Maybe the team would’ve had more clarity if they let the second driver try the updates in FP2..

they arent gonna replace alonso for 26. its just some lazy assumptions. first, he has a contract. 2, if they truely are hanging on some notion that lance will become a world champion in 26, they would need to replace alonso with someone worse. that would be a disaster. if alonso truely has lost his racing ability from old age (not), why would they get verstappen or somebody of that calliber when stroll would truely get schooled over a season. their best bet is to leave things they way they are for 26. also, like ive said in the past, newey is going to have a say in drivers. petty games with drivers isnt going to sit well with him. they are all there to make him happy right now. while it wouldnt cause him to quit, it would certainly leave a bad taste in his mouth, and could definitely be an excuse for him to sail off in his yacht sooner rather than later. if something happens in the rest of this season and alonso says hes not racing in 26, then i will eat my words. unfortunately until then its gonna be non stop talk of conspiracies

If Alonso got the priority last year, then it is fair to give the priority to Lance this year. However, we cannot forget that Lance is at the center of Aston Martin's project. I'm sure they have a reason to do it.

But what is strange in not informing the driver...
