The Aston Martin season, with Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll, can be represented in a roller coaster. The departure towards the enormous climb, reaching the peak, and then descending dizzily. The Silverstone team at the moment she is fourth in the manufacturers ranking, after being overtaken by both Mercedes - second - and by Ferrari – climbed to third place exactly one week ago after the Italian GP –.
Aston in difficulty, but confident for Singapore
Quite a particular situation, and little can be said about this. TO Monza, Aston was the fifth force on the track by detachment, behind Ferrari, Mercedes and also McLaren. Alonso took home a disappointing ninth place, while Stroll crossed the finish line in sixteenth place. A very disappointing result, which lowers Aston's expectations on the objectives set considering the results obtained in the first part of the season. The Silverstone team, however, does not give up and is hoping for a great feat already at Singapore next week. Alonso, despite the up and down, believes that the Marina Bay stage could be the last chance of the season to try to reach the coveted 33, much requested and desired from the beginning of 2023.
Alonso surprises: “Ferrari second fastest car on track”
Coming, however, to Aston Martin's seasonal objectives, Alonso has no doubts. Fight for third place? Yes, but it all depends on Ferrari"At the moment – admitted the two-time world champion to Sky Sport F1 after the Italian GP – almost all the points we have in the standings were achieved with one car, which is why we must try to score more points and above all with both cars. In the constructors' championship, however, I think it all depends on Ferrari, not on us. I think they definitely have the second best car on the track and with a lot of difference too. In Monza I think they were also the first car, just think of the pole position, as well as in Baku and beyond. Despite this, they are fighting with us in the builders, but it all depends on them: if they still make mistakes, we could still play it".
