This forum contains threads to discuss teams themselves. Anything not technical about the cars, including restructuring, performances etc belongs here.
I would put Alonso in Mediums and see if they can keep the tyres fired up im s1 and s2 cause s3 us a problem in he softs. Alonso is losing 3 tenths now in s1 just to kerp the tyres alive for s3. With track improving its getting worse there.

Remember the Softs here are C5 and Mediums C4 here not C6 and C5 like at the tracks where the medium was better.
Imagine how terrible this team will be in Las Vegas and Mexico ( feels like Miami). The best track and we got a P10 and Stroll, well, out of Q1. Sorry, its not only about the car, or maybe im just being pesimist right here but, i simple cant see this team making a decent job for championship, They looks like a new team, terrible estrategies, terrible setups, every race they never find a decent setup, that car never deliver something good, always suffer, terrible pitstops, its impossible to convert this team a contender to WC next year. Even Newey or Honda. Alonso is defenitely the unluckiest drive, when Aston finally got a championship contender he already retired.

Getting the setup right has to do with the car, they probably needed to make the plank/bib/suspension changes to facilitate getting better setup and the floor closer to the ground. They chose to spend those resources on the 2026 car.
Alot of those things likely will not matter next year. Generally the first couple of years of new regs, 1 team runs away with it. If you look at 2022, RBR won by over 200 points, in 2023 they won by over 400 points.
You forget that it took RBR 3 years for them to get competitive after Newey joined.
