A year ago in Bahrain, Alonso♛ secured a surprise podium finish on his 🧸Aston Martin debut.

What are Aston Martin’s hopes this year?

“Let’s wait a couple of races,” he said.

“Bahrain is a specific track in terms of chara𝓀cteristics.

“We’ll h♔ave to go to Saudi, Australia and maybe Japan to have the order of performance for the teams.

“Everything is delivering as expected.

“Maybe the stepꦗ from last ye🤪ar to this year is good enough or not? We’ll find out…

“Th🎉ere is a different approach from 2023. We started with a good base but it was a shock to us, how good it was at the begi♓nning.

“We 🐻were not a big team, off-track, in terms of developing the car.

“We learned lessons last year.

“To become a contender for the champions🔯hip in the future, it was an important season.

“This year we start with a good base line꧒, and with a lot of things in the pipeline for t♏he rest of the season.

“It will𝓰 be interesting to see if we can keep the pace of de🌸veloping the car.

“We didn’t meet those expectatio💎ns last year. We want to iꦚmprove in that regard.”
