2025 Aston Martin | Aramco F1 Team

So he has two new sets? Or one with just an outlap?

Like I said, couldn't tell. They kept showing me Alonso's Helmet for the most of the out lap.

[FNTC]

Bernie Collins saying Alonso has 1 new set, but the used one might be the one from the abandoned lap, so 1.75ish sets if that one was new before that.

[SSJ4]

So Alonso doing single run or two runs?

[FNTC]

Going out now so two I think.
P5 on the semi used set if he is going again.

[Mansell89]

What a legend.

Some lap.

[TyreSlip]

Great lap by Alonso, regardless where he finishes.

[FNTC]

The question is if he used the new set in that run or not. Ahead of max. He might be done.
Edit: Still in the pit so only one set then.. But good job with the car he has.

[SSJ4]

Went too early. Should have been ahead of gasly and hadjar

[FNTC]

Yeah p10, weird strategy as always.. Too early with the track ramp up...
But you can overtake on this track so he can fight for his first points tomorrow hopefully.

[SchuMassa]

Great job by Nando! One more functional upgrade and we will be in the mix with Ferrari.

Alonso was 0.092 slower than the best time in S3, 4th over all, a sector notorious for a tell tail sign for how good a car is in low speed corners.

[Rikrikrik]

The biggest problem for tomorrow is the top speed. Aston is so slown in the straights, very draggy, but, we can pray for "the silverstone upgrades". Stroll was P14, i think the Aston are not better than we think they are, Stroll reflect the real performance that car.

Let's not always BLINDLY blame the strategy. Alonso was a tenth slower in S1 on his final lap than he was on his Q2 lap. If he would have matched that time, he would have moved up 2 spots. If he would have moved up another tenth, he would have been neck and neck with Hamilton.


The opportunity was there at the time he ran.

[Otromundo]

The Williamses have failed, but it wasn't enough because others have replaced them. And since LH has woken up... ALO 10th... and thank goodness.

We've improved; we now look like a more professional team, and the effects of the new signings are starting to show... but results are still lacking.

I hope the race pace has improved further. We'll see tomorrow ...

We was 0.2 slower than Hamilton, so, i mean, Miami we finished 20secondes behind Hulkenberg, its a HUGE improvment, finally, we need pray to Silverstone.
