Formula 1-Hungarian Grand Prix 2024: Alonso: “We have to focus on ourselves to have a great 2025”

El Hungary rally It was stamped into the calendar by Aston Martin. The British team brings improvements, although not very significant, and Fernando Alonso said that they could improve due to track conditions.

“Here, Hungary is a very hot track, it looks a bit like Barcelona in terms of speed, so maybe it will cost us,”Fernando said about what they expect this weekend where they bring some improvements. “Scoring points in the two races before the break will show that the developments are working,”he added.

“It was complicated. We’ve had our ups and downs, like everyone else. We started very strongly in the first five races, as we were very competitive in qualifying, we were close to Mercedes and even McLaren and in the race we fell. The last four races were more difficult. We have to improve our performance, raise the bar and return to a more comfortable position, ” he explained, analyzing the Aston Martin season.

“It’s a bit difficult to find the right window for the car, and it’s difficult for us to extract the maximum potential from the car. In Barcelona we started on a changed foot , and we could not climb back from Ah. In Austria, we only had a few of them for free and we could not improve the package. At Silverstone, we already had a normal weekend and it’s less hot, which helps our performance, ” he admitted, about the last Grand Prix where they suffered.

“My goal and desire is to find the right direction and the right path of development with greater confidence in what we are doing for this winter period and to have a more natural campaign in 2025. In 2024, the top four teams are out of our reach, so we have to focus on ourselves,” he explained about his goals this year and whether the situation can be reversed.

Aston Martin problems

“There is not a single thing we have experienced this season. The car is not easy to drive, it is unpredictable and this detracts from the driver’s confidence. You can’t push and rely on the car to do the same on every lap. Consistency is not great when you are behind the wheel and I have more problems this season than the other”.

“When people are very young and tight and you are fighting for one or two points, you make more risky decisions and maybe take more risks than you should. In choosing the configuration, instead of changing a little something before qualifying, we changed everything, because we know that with the car we have in 3 we will not get more than one point. Sometimes you risk everything to get into the top five”.

Win without being a builder

“Thanks to the budget limit, manufacturers do not have unlimited budgets or unlimited testing programs, everything is much more organized. Since there are many disadvantages to not being a builder, you can see it both ways, ” he answered the question of whether you can win without being a builder.

Hungaroring circuit

“I did not favor the track, although among the five improvements it’s incredible circuit, but I prefer Suzuka or Silverstone which are more fun to talk F1 cars, competing in less than 30 does not make sense,” the astrian said about Hungaroring Moderna.

“I’m happy if things are renewed. If something is renewed to improve and accommodate new standards is always fine. Your memories are always with you, ” he said when asked if he regretted that some things would change in the corridors of the pit where he spent many years.

The historic Sunday of Spanish sports

“Sunday was a historic day for Spanish sports and” 14 “is happy to have enjoyed all the victories:” everyone enjoyed, without a doubt. We have had Rafa Nadal for many years, and now we have Carlos, so we are in good hands. He’s very talented and we all enjoy it every time he plays. Also in football, the Sunday game is something I want to win, because every time you come to the weekend race, with all the mechanics… It’s better as”.
