Aston Martin's AMR24 Struggles, Alonso Finishes 8th

Alonso faced unexpected challenges in Singapore, finishing 8th as the AMR24 struggled to perform.

Fernando Alonso did not anticipate an eighth-place finish at the Singapore Grand Prix.

The Aston Martin F1 driver remarked, “It was better than expected!”

“It was a very physical race today, but we executed everything we had planned well and scored some good points. We tried the undercut strategy by stopping a few laps earlier than the others, and it worked quite well for us.”

“In truth, we had a difficult car to handle throughout the weekend, and we managed to finish just a few seconds behind a Ferrari. We have a lot of work to do at the Silverstone factory in the coming weeks to try and improve our performance for Austin.”

Finishing 14th, Lance Stroll had an unremarkable weekend.

“It was a very challenging weekend here in Singapore. On my laps to the grid, I felt strange vibrations, so the team worked quickly to replace a set of brakes as a precaution. It was a tremendous effort from the mechanics, so a big thank you to them for fixing this issue so swiftly in this heat.”

“We knew it would be a tough race and we suffered from similar problems to yesterday: grip and balance. Austin is a very different circuit, so we hope it will suit our car better.”
