Is Fernando Alonso starting to look his age after an inconsistent start to the season for Aston Martin ?
Aston Martin endured another challenging day in qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix, with Alonso only 11th and team-mate Lance Stroll in 14th.Alonso is poised to start Sunday’s race from 10th on the grid, with Red Bull driver Sergio Perez serving a three-place grid penalty. “With one car, we even opted to go for three sets in Q1, which is a sign that you are not very confident.
Despite winning both of his World Championships with Team Enstone back in 2005/06 – and returning to F1 with the team after a two-year sabbatical in 2021 – Alonso aimed a series of barbs at his former employers last season, at one stage accusing the team of a “lack of professionalism” during contract negotiations in 2022.
He said: “I think we knew. Alpine was in front of us in Monaco, was very close in Canada and here they are just half a tenth in front.
