Fernando Alonso on Bad Luck with Aston Martin: “It’s What We Deserve, Probably”

Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll raced for Aston Martin at the 2025 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola after the team introduced a major car update.
The team’s one-stop plan was disrupted when a virtual safety car appeared at an unfortunate moment on lap 30, causing Alonso and Stroll to lose track position.
Alonso started fifth and showed strong pace early but dropped to 14th after a lap 12 pit stop and was unable to regain points due to safety car timing.
Alonso expressed that if the Virtual Safety Car had not impacted the race, he believes he would have been in contention for sixth or seventh place and earned points based on his performance.
Despite the disappointing result, Aston Martin's upgrade showed progress and will focus on the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix, seeking better luck and performance there.
