A drop off in competitiveness over the past two Formula 1 weekends despite bringing upgrades should send the alarm bells ringing at Aston Martin, reckons Fernando Alonso.
Aston Martin brought an upgrade package to Imola, but so did many of its direct rivals, which meant that in the relative game of in-season development, the Silverstone-based squad hasn't been able to make any progress on the timesheets. The AMR24 has also proven harder to set up and drive, with both Alonso and team-mate Lance Stroll having similar complaints of how the car proved tough to keep balanced throughout corners, shifting from oversteer on entry to mid-corner understeer.

' some doubts after Imola and in Monaco that we didn't manage to go fast, and we have to try to change this trend,' the two-time world champion said.
