Still at zero The period of great results crisis continues for Aston Martin, once again without any points scored after five races played. Following the Miami GP, which saw at least both drivers of the Silverstone team finish the race, Montreal witnessed Fernando Alonso’s third retirement of the season. The seat stops Alonso The two-time world champion, just as he found himself in a favorable position to actually get closer to the points zone, forced himself into the pits due to a seat problem, thus abandoning any chance of reaching the top 10: “We had a good start and were fighting for the top ten positions – he explained – we made the right choice by starting with the Soft tyres, while others opted for the Intermediates and were forced to return to the pits early. Unfortunately, we had a problem with the seat during the race, so we decided to retire the car. It seemed like we were faster here than in Miami with the same package. We have to wait for the performance to improve with the updates that will arrive during the summer break, but in the meantime we will try to continue to optimize this package.” However, the one who crossed the finish line was the only home rider present on the starting grid: Lance Stroll. For the #18, however, the 15th place finish was the demonstration of a complex weekend as much for him as for Aston Martin: “It was a difficult weekend in Montreal. We were unable to get the tires to the necessary temperature and we struggled to find grip throughout the race. We didn’t have the necessary pace even on the straights. The car’s performance is not yet at the desired level and there is still a lot of work to do to improve it.”
