The new reality of Aston Martin The transition to the second trimester is considered a success. This seems harsh after spending much of the season fighting for podiums and constantly getting into Q3, but the Brits’ lack of development has led to this situation.
After being excluded in the first quarter in the United States, the risk was to repeat itself in Mexico. However, curiously, an error Fernando Alonso avoided a disaster.
The Asturian He spun on his final attempt to set a Q1 lap and, as he was one of the first in line, the yellow flag which caused this error spoiled the lap for all his pursuers. And Alonso, who was having fun, ended up passing.
The one who, once again, did not succeed was Lance’s Walk. The Canadian had a golden opportunity as he was one of the few not injured by Alonso’s mistake, but finished 18th certifying the current low level of Aston Martin.
In such a situation, expectations for the second quarter were low and were confirmed. The Asturian set a very slow time in the first attempt with worn tires and, in the second with new tires, things were no better. He lost a lot of time in the first sector with the long straight and He finished 14th, although he gained a place because Albon’s round was canceled.
And this is the new reality for Aston Martin, which is celebrating a passage into Q2 because the majority of teams are showing themselves to be much more competitive in this last part of the season.
