The 2025 course has begun crooked for a Fernando Alonso who has not been able to add a single point in what has been played as a championship. Before this 22nd season started for the Ovetense in the F1 we could already hear that I did not expect the AMR25 to be competitive enough to be able to fight for podiums and victories. So it is not that he has caught off the fact that happened in the appointments of Australia and China.
However, ’14’ has been the victim of misfortune with that pair of initial abandonments. And to corroborate this point of view you just have to think about how things have gone to his partner Lance Stroll (eighth in the pilots general with 10 points). However, the two -time champion has been quite clear when weighing what is the current situation of the green racing box. “We can be the fifth car with the evolutions. Now Racing Bulls and Williams are in front, and Haas was in China,” he proclaimed in the country of the rising sun, where the third event of this Circus Circus campaign is played this weekend.

Cowell’s confession
But if we made a flashback we found that China’s withdrawal had to do with something that did his team badly. This has been confessed to his mandamás, who has not hidden reality when asked about the last KO of the Asturian. “The problem of brakes we had in Fernando’s car, is because we had a set of different brake ducts in his car compared to that of Lance (Stroll). I think we would all wish I had not done it. And he has given us the opportunity to reflect on a wide range of things we are doing in the team,” said Andy Cowell, in a few statements collected by Motorsport.com.
The CEO of Aston Martin has continued its revealing speech by providing a positive touch, despite the stumbling stammer on the Chinese track. “We want to try new things, it is always important to experiment, but it is also important to ensure that things are ready for the race. And that all our systems are in their correct position. So it has served as an example to analyze in detail the way we develop the components, we introduce them on the race weekends, we control things and analyze the multiple interactions of the systems,” the head of the Silverstone squad has riveted.
Within bad luck … he was lucky
Fortlessly for Alonso the problem of the brakes in his car only frustrated the possibility of taking something positive from the China Grand Prix. “I could have suffered an ugly accident. Within bad luck, I was lucky to have been unscathed,” said the veteran Spanish competitor after getting out of the car, evidencing a mood that reflects relief and resignation in equal parts.
