The lightened version of the Alpine given to Ocon is much faster and handles much better than the Aston...... They'll take a spot in Q3

We knew Barcellona was difficult but seeing the Alpines, the Haas doing better job is very painful

Stroll will struggle to get out of Q1 looking at this unless they find something big over night

Half way in FP2 and the qualy sims have Alonso 12th behind Ocon, Bottas and both Haas cars so far, 0.8s behind the fastest, and stroll in 16th...
Meanwhile Gasly has just gone p4 only just under 2 tenths from P1. This was a team plum last at the start of the season. Aston Martin need to get a genius to fix the car because these lot are clueless.

The characteristics that are holding back Aston Martin's F1 car

What's concerning is this is exactly what the weakness of last year's cars was.. It struggled in long corners and that was an issue that was apparently understood around this time last year??.. It seems they fundamental don't understand how to correct that issue if they're in exactly the same place a year later.

I dnt understand why Alonso dsnt hang his boots. This team is complete waste of time. They got lucky last year at start. Sad to see him just making up grid numbers

He trusts Lawrence and until we see this in 2026 (hopefully not) he might as well take the chance. Nothing to lose everything to gain.

Both Aston Martin drivers are in the same position as their Driver Numbers
We knew this year is pretty much a write off before this but this race just confirms it. Despite that I’m still optimistic that Lawrence is doing everything in the background to make sure Aston Martin get the right people for 2025 so we don’t get 3 years of Deja vu.

I really dont know how some poeple still defending this team. They are a terrible joke and they will be the worst team before summer break. Unbeliveable. And still posing like a top team in the interviews

Who’s defending them? When people make comments like this attacking the air instead of being specific the wrong people might get the wrong idea.

Anyway what’s the alternative? Throw in the towel completely? I’m critical of the current leadership and technical team that needs to change but I know Lawrence is doing that so I’m not just going to give up and do what? Go support another team? Pfft geez relax

All the more reason for persuading Newey! Lawrence better hurry up we need some good news before team morale drops.
