Small satisfaction for Aston Martin in Miami: Alonso and Stroll both reached the finish line

Still behind From the Japanese GP to the last one held in Miami, there have been no significant improvements at Aston Martin. Even at the end of the American weekend, the Silverstone team left the street circuit once again without any points scored, with results that do not allow them to abandon the last position in the Constructors’ standings. However, compared to the first three races of this season, there was a small but notable difference. No retirement For the first time, in fact, both Fernando Alonso and teammate Lance Stroll finished the GP. The Spaniard, after two consecutive retirements and 18th place in Suzuka, achieved his best performance with 15th position, prevailing in the final over Sergio Perez: “It is positive that both cars finished the race for the first time this season – commented the two-time world champion – we are not yet where we would like to be, but this weekend has allowed us to collect more data that we will be able to analyze in the coming weeks, before Canada. We have made clear progress in terms of reliability, now our attention turns to shifts to performance. We must continue to work and be patient as a team.” Only 17th and penultimate was teammate Lance Stroll, who while awaiting his home GP in Canada saw the checkered flag from his car for the first time: “It’s the first time this season that both cars have finished a race, so this is a positive thing to take from Miami. We managed to cover more kilometers with the car and we experienced less vibration this weekend. In hindsight, our tire strategy didn’t work, but from a reliability point of view we took a step in the right direction. Now we need to work on performance issues. There are many areas where we can improve.”
