Fernando Alonso admits that his Aston Martin Formula 1 team has to address the efficiency weakness that was highlighted in Monza qualifying and learn lessons from rivals Williams.
The Spaniard got through the first two qualifying segments in 10th and ninth places before finishing Q3 in 10th, which represents his worst grid position of the 2023 season so far.
Alonso admitted it didn’t help that he failed to get a tow in Q3, although he conceded that it would not have helped him to move up the grid.“I was not happy to be alone, first,” he said. “But now when I saw that we are four or five tenths to P9 that was impossible with any tow you can take. So, we are in the position we deserve."And Williams is a clear example in these kinds of tracks. They are outstanding. So, we need to see what we can improve.
“And we knew that it could be a tough weekend. And we confirmed that feeling in FP1, in FP2 and this morning, as well. “If everything goes right, maybe you can be top six or top seven. So let's hope for something, some action tomorrow [today], and especially in the first corner in front of us.”had an even tougher time after no running on Friday, having given up his car to Felipe Drugovich for FP1 and then suffered a fuel system issue at the start of FP2. The Canadian could not better 20th and last place in Q1.
