Alonso's statements

The situation, unfortunately, hasn't changed in 4 days since Melbourne. So it will be another complicated weekend. We need to try to understand everything we can about the car, and we will be forced to limit the laps in some sessions because we are missing parts. We will try to extract something positive," said Alonso, after the Asturian was unable to finish the race in the first race of the year.

The predictions for the China GP

Amidst this, Alonso predicts that the weekend in China will be a complicated one for Aston Martin and not very different from Australia, as there has also been little time to make changes since Australia, "The team's hopes?" I would say they are not very different," declared Alonso.

In the meantime, the team and Alonso will focus on gathering mileage and data that will allow them to make significant changes while there is still room, and all the teams adapt to the new cycle of regulations that is very different and unprecedented in Formula 1.
