After the fireworks of 2023, the 2024 season is proving to be a bit of a letdown for Aston Martin. Fernando Alonso has yet to get on the podiumand it doesn’t look like he’s going to achieve it all year. Some have even ventured to say that Alonso is entering his decline.
However, Aston Martin has another theory, and after a new display by Alonso in Baku they explained it. For the green team, Alonso is having an almost miraculous season with a car that has fallen far behind, and is not even in the position to score points. The truth is that the data proves them right.
Alonso is the best of the rest and beats his teammate in points
Aston Martin is coming from glorious times and, presumably, heading towards glorious times. But the interwar years can be tough. 2024 is being A terrible season for Alonso’s teamwith a car that is getting slower and slower, a team that is completely lost and improvements that are no longer there.
At Aston Martin it seems that they are clear that the problem It is not in Alonso. In fact, after the Asturian’s miraculous sixth place finish in Azerbaijan, the head of the English team, Mike Krack, expressed his anger at Alonso’s situation: “It is unfair and frustrating that after such a brilliant race by Alonso you have to drop down to sixth place to find him.”
In fact, Alonso is ninth in the drivers’ championship, and has the Formula 1.5 world championship completely wrapped up. That is, the mini championship between drivers who have no chance of winning. Alonso has 58 points, 34 more than his teammate, Lance Strollwhich he has been hammering for another season.
In fact, Alonso has scored points in eleven of the 17 races this season, which seems almost miraculous considering the way Aston Martin is sinking. Stroll has gone four races in a row without scoring points, and it doesn’t look like the bad streak will be broken anytime soon. However, Alonso in Baku achieved his second best result of the year.
Alonso already claimed his race in Monza as ““one of the best I’ve ever done”despite being left without points. And in Baku he repeated his state of inspiration. Amid rumours that Aston Martin could be looking for Max Verstappen, Alonso is vindicated, but he needs a car to accompany him.
Fernando Alonso doing what 99.9% of the world’s population would do, but being that 0.01% who does it well. HE’S A GENIUS

It won’t be in Singapore where the situation changes, as Aston Martin only brings a small change to the front wing. To score points Another miracle from Alonso will be needed.
