Fernando Alonso isn't letting Aston Martin's gradual tailing off of performance get to him, saying big steps are planned for next season.
Fernando Alonso denies frustration with Aston Martin following ‘significant’ issue in SingaporeFernando Alonso isn’t letting Aston Martin’s gradual tailing off of performance get to him, saying big steps are planned for next season.
Fernando Alonso pressed on in the race, but a pit entry error cost him a time penalty – together with a later mistake on track, and a fundamental lack of pace, Alonso was doomed to finish outside the points. “The steps that we plan ahead for the future, for next year, when we come to those races are huge and I never saw that sort of scale in terms of ideas and putting things on the table.
“Mercedes took not too long to be in that position, Ferrari took a little bit longer, and McLaren as well now they are very strong. We have to accept that we need to raise our level off-track as well and the rate of development has to be a little bit faster next year, but this is a very new team, and this is a new position for us and even the new factory is just aiming to match this kind of development that others can do during [the] season.
“The pace was not the real one on the race and we felt that maybe we could have followed the train of the leaders and had fewer problems with the Alpine and [Sergio] Perez and everything that changed after. When you are not too fast you get into a lot of problems.”Fernando Alonso weighs up Aston Martin’s prospects for Japan
