Fernando Alonso has not yet stepped on any Q3 in the first three races of 2025. Nor has it ended in the two initial appointments, which jokes. It does not seem the most encouraging panorama for the strange Aston Martin Amr25, nor compared to his precedent (he started well 2024) or in future perspectives. But beyond the clouds, the sun can come out. The Spanish does not negotiate its level and continues to stand out. He will fight in Suzuka from the 12th, a better position than his initial 13th after the sanction to Carlos Sainz after the ‘overlying’ to Lewis Hamilton.

Not only is it appreciated in the sessions, where Alonso takes the AMR25 to the limit. Also from within the team they keep it. “It can be satisfied. It is not a spectacular result, but those inside and we see telemetry, we appreciate what Fernando attacks. He is signing a spectacular weekend,” says Pedro de la Rosa, ambassador of the British team, to Dazn.

De la Rosa affects the thrust of 14. He does not stop throwing. It seeks to raise one more point with respect to what I should occupy with the theoretical performance AMR25. “It is a very complicated car and Alonso is attacking like a beast,” adds the television commentator.
Although it produces errors, of course. Some, like Melbourne’s, is not blamed in the pilot himself. But that of the Suzuka FP2, yes. “It is a twice champion, which at 43 comes to Suzuka and makes an error because it attacks with everything when the car is not competitive,” he explains De la Rosa.

Now it is worth attacking

The time of the Asturian will be the race. You will look, first, finish and fish for a good result. For example, his partner Lance Stroll did it without brightness – and without almost rhythm – any. But ok, many times, with being. “It may not be a normal race and we will try to attack. Although we know that if you attack in rain, you can have another abandonment,” Alonso acknowledged.
He will seek to break the bad streak with a convincing performance. And he doesn’t doubt. Will attack. It is the only way. “At this moment of the championship is better to attack than to look how you are out of the points,” Alonso closed.
