2025 Aston Martin | Aramco F1 Team

What a joke! Alonso was running in the clean air for most of the race and still engine overheated?? How???

The PU failed, it didn't overheat. And there were problems with it for 20 laps...not sure what you've been watching.

Whatever dude

I am a huge ASton Martin hater, but, even me dont think this is anything against Alonso, dudes, come on, it was a unluck again, Russel had a engine issues to yesterday. Alonso will score more points than Stroll until end of the season, calm down. i still repeat, the most import thing is, Alonso has pace to score point where the car had all things to be the worst car in this track, Aston is probably the fifth team now fighting agaisnt Williams and next week a lot of things can be change. Thinks about Aston's sabottating Alonso to break his contract this year is absolutely craziness

[NAPI10]

Is there any clause in his employment contract that if he did not score any point he will be released from his contract? If this trend continues, it is clear that AMR want Alonso out for some one else.

When AMR signed Honda engine, I expected this kind of issues for Alonso. Lets wait and see if AMR really want Alonso to go out from the team.

100% but if he finishes behind Stroll in points they can cancel his contract

Come on guys.....U can call this team incompetent but doubting their character is really below par. In last 4 years, This team has given all the appreciation & respect to Alonso. They never defended themselves, even when Alonso criticized them openly. Ur disappointment is untestable but think before floating such theories.

Barcelona next and new front wing regulation. Hopefully that can makes us the consistent 5th best force. Maybe we could have something completely different from the rest like the new rear wing used this weekend

Wonder if the ICE died cause it's never been run in STRAT 6 for so many laps. STRAT 6 was only designed to run for a couple of laps. Anyways 8 races on 1 PU is enough. They probably would have used this PU for FP1 &2 only until it died....a little bit of a compromise but not much.

Isn't that pretty standard to run the Monaco rear wing in Spain? Probably switch up the beam wing to less drag one.

That being said I looked for beam wing pics in Monaco and I couldn't find any. Presume we'll see some now, thanks to how Alonso retired the car.

It's unusual nonetheless as there is not much time spent on the throttle here. And the engine really didn't run the race in China because of the brake failure.

De La Rosa just said on DAZN there are no upgrades expected for Barcelona.

Didn't they talk last week about a new front wing or I'm wrong?

The new wing doesn't make it an upgrade, just FIA compliance with the stricter flexing regulations.

yeah this sounds just like a contract anyone in their right mind would sign. i guess they hope to go the whole season with no more points (i wonder why they even bothered to bring upgrades) . they only need to sabotage alonso 17 more times to get some worse driver to take his place. this is definitely how to run a successful f1 team.

Maybe I'm blatantly wrong but I remember reading it was going to be the first 100% new tunnel driven design, I thought it wasn't going to be just a minor revision or an "unimportant" update given they wording about it.

Everything after the imola update is purely from new wind túnnel. So the rear wing for monaco. Newey said an upgrade package is scheduled around silverstone time

Oh, I wasn't aware of this, thank you.

Atleast someone is reading and paying attention.
