2024 Aston Martin | Aramco F1 Team

He did not say „it’s the engine“. He said, obviously only in Spanish TV, that there are some PU issues. No word about how bad it affected him. But that’s the same with updates or other stuff with some guys, conclusions are drawn without deeper knowledge. I would say we just judge what we actually know or can compare…

He did say it’s his engine I literally quoted him a page ago. Instead you want to make up your elaborate conspiracies for no reason. What we have is what he just told us, no point making up dramas in peoples heads. I’ll even quote him again.

Alonso said this is the last race with this engine.

Quote
We have had an engine problem since the beginning of the week. But this will be the last race with this engine and it had to be used at some point. It is better not to put a too good engine at the moment when we are not in the points, so it will be a difficult race," he added, highlighting some failure in his Mercedes engine.

So Alonso has been running around with a sick engine. He’s not lost his mojo so that concern can be put to bed.

Oh, so you consider facts what happens in one single race, in which also happens to be a motor problem.

Facts are what has been happening through all the races. Do you want to review all? And, if you're so kind, I would take out from the study the races where something non related to driver happens.

Start from the last race (6 days ago) and keep reviewing backwards.

Then come here and repeat Stroll's assessment about the 4-4 in qualifying and that points are just a casual thing.

But hey, you know what? You're right, he should be ahead of Stroll even with a faulty motor. If he's not, it's because he's getting old. Happy?

Not sure about the motor thing. What I saw was him having alot of problems getting on the throttle out of corners. Lots of wheel spin or him just waiting for the car to get straight to hammer it.


Turn 3 was terrible not sure what was going on there. Maybe he's using a different setup to Stroll. Don't know.

He’s literally just told us it’s his engine. Why are you acting clueless?

Well, I guess I should have wrote, I'm not sure how much of an impact "just" the motor thing had cause he was having other issues with the balance of the car. He was catching TSU 4 to 6 10th in S1 and S3 and losing it all in S2. Maybe the motor issue has something to do with the throttle sensativity?

Alonso complained to his engineer about turn 3 as well. They tried another shape on the last lap but by then the tires were gone.

Are they changing the PU for Quali and the race ? By "race" does he mean "race race" or "sprint race"?

I doubt it if the result is going to still be just out of the points or one point maximum. It would be a waste to change just to get ahead of Stroll for a point. We’ll see though.. I personally don’t care though car is crap so it doesn’t matter who’s ahead or if the engine is made of chocolate it won’t change the result much. I want to see real change. I want Newey!

[SchuMassa]

Krack's days are numbered.

[Sherrinford]

The demonstration of how many people understand nothing about formula 1 or even logic, Alonso in sector 2 paid almost 2 tenths of Albon, he managed to overtake him in the third sector at the last,that's because he was old right? He worked another magic with a car that wasn't from q2, GREAT FERNANDO

[KimiRai]

We knew Austria and Silverstone were going to be tough, not a surprise here

[-wkst-]

So, PU wonder healing or just better driving/different set ups etc compared to STR?

We can close the case. In the heat the team is not competitive.

[max_speed]

This car is an embarassment. Alonso pushing at risk of crashing and on short high speed track almost 4th down

[SchuMassa]

4 tenths away from getting into Q3. The lap was not great but frankly didn't make any difference. Unaccaptable

[KimiRai]

Alonso surprisingly calm and encouraging words for the team despite all. So much for "toxic"

[CriXus]

ASTON MARTIN IN AUSTRIA

Fastest qualy lap in 2023 Qualifying: 1:04.893
Fastest qualy lap in 2024 Qualifying: 1:05.639 (+0.746s)

[-wkst-]

Track conditions, also others were slower.
The laps in Q2 weren’t good either, same time as in Q1, despite the track evolution, which is of course smaller in Austria.

[PinkFloydPulse]

insane that they are 0.746 seconds slower than last year... that's just so bad...

[NAPI10]

Some good news for AM after dismal performance all round -
