2025 Aston Martin | Aramco F1 Team

What happened? Everything was going well closing on Gasly

Fernando noo..
You rather box in these conditions than no, to minimise risks

[KimiRai]

This entire GP was a huge missed opportunity. A good qualifying you could have put it between p5-p9. Race pace wasn't as good (though better than Alpine) but overtaking was extremely difficult in these conditions so you could have held that position pretty well. Sadly it was not possible.

And now the changing conditions and craziness... this was the race that the old Fernando would excel in. But instead second mistake. I think a podium was completely possible today from his part if he'd started much further ahead. Stroll decent job but honestly he never showed any kind of real speed in the entire GP.

Fernando keeps making uncharacteristic mistakes, I keep pointing it out, and I keep getting strong reactions. But it is becoming impossible to ignore. And again, Cowell and Newey are not blind....

Old inters, turbulance from Gasly's gearbox, slight touch of the curb. The slightest mistake is all it takes. Almost every driver went off track at some point in the race.

Sad Alonso binned it, 2 mistakes this weekend unfortunately. Pace seemed decent enough relative to Alpine/Williams

[Alo_Fan]

Well played to Stroll this weekend. Kept it on the road and didn't make any mistakes. Some very good points for the team, we are temporarily ahead of Ferrari in the WCC (lol).

[selvam_e2002]

is it a mistake or he lost the control of the car while chasing Gassly? when I look at the on board, I don't see any specific mistake and he is try to correct something by Steering which I don't what it is. Could some one clarify to understand it. Thanks.

Alonso was pushing to hard,was the 2nd or 3th fastest just 0.4 sec slower than Norris in that few last lap before crash.I have no idea where came that speed from. Antonelly came fast from behind,then he started to push i think. But if he could be so fast then i dont understand why he was saving for so long.Next week China ,i think Aston will be better there at quali.

Alex Wurz said that he tried to cool the tyres before, less grip,…

Naturally they are not blind and let’s be honest, they will show ALO the door immediately if there is any chance to lure VER for 2026.

It’s heartbreaking for us fans, once a team he drives for starts to getting the things slowly together, he starts to decline.

That would have been a race for prime ALO…

[KimiRai]

Hopefully Alo will improve his performance in China. He's usually strong there, so I think if the car is decent he could get a good result. But yes, it hasn't been a great start so far. I might be too harsh but that is simply because I have huge expectations of him.

Stroll was only a couple of laps away from getting lapped, so tbh, with Alonso's crash the team probably got a better result than without.

Bruh... Why are you here? Podium? In what world? Give Alonso a decent car and he won't have to overdrive it and make mistakes... They are not ditching him and Max is not joining in 2026, your fantasies are void lol
The car is still not good enough for anything, if Newey does some magic to help it turn it around Alonso won't have to overdrive it and no mistakes then. And Stroll got his position tnx to Alonso, so in theory daddys boy got direct help from Alonso. Shall we call it a Renault Singapore style setup?

Mistakes happen not the end of the world, Apart from the top 3 it was a luck of the draw for everyone else. Whats important is that Alo still has speed and the car has potential. In race pace alo was consistently closing in on gasly and was to an extent quicker than the cars behind leclerc. He was catching and dropping behind. Same as what everyone else was doing in front when attacking to cool off the tires. Whats positive is that when he had to run from ANT he had the pace to be half a second of Mcl so late in the stint.

Funny enough when Piastri ran wide at turn 6 i was wondering if anyones going to catch the gravel he threw up. I think Alo misstepped in the exact same spot, also a bit of karma for the Russel incident last year.

Newey wants to work with Alo. Hes been quite vocal about that i dont think hes going anywhere for 26, also this race was a lottery pia and ferrari werent much better off. Many positives to walk away with than just focusing on the non-merit based results.

And gravel on track only happend to ALO in this wet race, with a lot of gravel-run-off-areas?

I don't want to know how often such incidents happend today.

The ALO community follows a little bit to much the "Kimi Räikkönen way" nowadays. There's always a reason why A or B happened and things didn't work out. I always liked the "Fernando Alonso way", just pure racing and no BS. In the end noone drove into him, he just lost the car with some gravel on track. Hopefully a better result in China.
