At Monza qualifying, like Silverstone, their weakness has been high-speed corners. They loose too much time in turns 6,7 and 11. It isn't draggy as before.
I think it’s more like the opposite the softer the tyre got the more it overheated, Alonso’s engineer told him multiple times that the tyres are too hot, I think the hard was in it’s perfect window but the softer the tyre got the more it overheated.
This makes sense because if you lack downforce in high speed corners, your tyres will slide around more and generate heat. This doesn't bode well for the race. However, I did se them set their best times on the second flying lap multiple times so it's a bit confusing.
Ferrari has wilder performance swings since the start of the season. Aston only since June due to reasons we already know, but you are right, everyone behind RB has a lot of work to do.
The lack of consistency is down to AM being a one car team. The team need to get both cars performing to a similar standard. Alonso has carried AM by scoring at all weekends. The other driver has simply not delivered, and that is why they aren't higher up in the constructors table.
The same reason why Alonso can score every race weekend for Aston is the same reason why Stroll is in the AstonF1doc wrote: ↑03 Sep 2023, 18:04The lack of consistency is down to AM being a one car team.

I think it was very hot and Monza has a few long high speed corners like the lesmos and parabolica where youre pulling a lot of Gs. Those are the most physically demanding corners further exasperated by the weather. Plus, everything feels more tiring and taxing when you're not doing well.
