Fernando Alonso says Aston Martin’s recent upgrade package marks a “significant step forward” and has eased pressure on the team after a difficult start to the F1 season.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aston Martin have endureꦿd a difficult💜 start to the 2025 F1 season.

While 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Strol🅘l was able to secure 14 points in the opening two races, Aston Martin were one of the slowest teams in the first part of the season.

An 🌜upgrade inꦫtroduced at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix has seen Aston Martin move up the pecking order, even if they’ve not been able to score points.

Remarkably, Alonso hasn’t got off the marꦆk yet in 2♛025.

Poor strategy cost Alonso andꦜ Stroll points at Imola.

Alonso was on course for a top eight finish꧂ in Monte Carlo before an engine iss💖ue.

are in the paddock.

“The Imola package was a step forward but we didn’t know how much. We were coming t🦂o Barcelona to answer that question and I think the answer is positive.

“The answer is that it’s a significant step forward and the car can be 🔥in the fight for Q3s at least on a normal race track, and that’s obviously a different story than pre-Miami.”

It loo🌳ked like Alonso was going to qualify higher than 10th.

After his initial r☂un in Q3, Alonso was in the top five bef🥃ore dropping the order.

Like 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc, Alonso had just one set of tyres remaining for the final part of qua⛄lifying.

“There was not much 🧸more in it,” Alonso added. “When you’re into Q3 in a very short lap within one tenth you can be seventh or 10th. Unfortunately, we’re the third of that. Happy. The whole weekend we’ve been in the top 10 positions. Inall of the practice sessions and in qualifying as well.

“This was a real test for us because I think at Imola we used the medium tyres. In Monaco, it’s such a special place. Barcelona - the truth will come out in Barcelona and the truth is we’ꦬve made the car better since Imola. We cannot forget where we came from.

“In Miami, we were probably the 10th fastest team. We finished 20 secondꦰs behind Sauber in the race so definitely some steps in the right direction.”
