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 endured a difficult start to the 2🀅025 F1 season.

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

An upgrade ꦉintroduced 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 mark yet in 20🍒25.

Poor strategy cost Alonso and Stroll poin🍬ts at Imola.

Alonso was on course for a top eight finish in Monte Carlo before an engꦚine issue.

“The Imola package was a step forward bu♐t we didn’t know how much. We were coming to 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-Mཧiami.”

It looked like Alonso was going to qualify higher than 10tꦐh.

After his initia𓂃l run in Q3, Alonso was in the top five before dropping the 🔯order.

Like 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc, Alons♈o had just one set of tyres rem♛aining for the final part of qualifying.

“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 in𒁃 the top 10 positions. Inall of the practi🌳ce sessions and in qualifying as well.

“This was a real test for us because I think at Imo🎉la 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’ve 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 seconds behind Sauber in the race so definitely some steps in the right di🌳rection.”
