Brazilië: Aston Martin Zonder Punten, Remproblemen
The Brazilian Grand Prix was a tough one for Aston Martin, with both drivers failing to score points. The team faced significant struggles with their brakes, leading to a frustrating weekend for both Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll.
Brake Issues Hamper Aston Martin's Performance
The main culprit behind Aston Martin's lackluster performance was the brake problems they encountered throughout the weekend. The team had to contend with brake overheating and brake fade, resulting in a significant loss of performance.
This issue was particularly evident for Alonso, who started the race in P5 but dropped down the order due to brake problems. He eventually finished in a disappointing P11, unable to make any progress despite having a strong car in qualifying.
Stroll also struggled with the brake issues, starting the race in P15 and ultimately finishing in P14. The brake problems prevented both drivers from showcasing their true potential and achieving a strong finish.
A Disappointing Result for a Team with High Expectations
Aston Martin entered the Brazilian Grand Prix with high expectations after their strong performance in recent races. They had established themselves as a consistent top-ten team, regularly fighting for podium positions.
However, the brake issues effectively derailed their race, leaving the team frustrated and disappointed with their performance.
Focus Shifting to Abu Dhabi for a Strong Finish to the Season
Despite the setback in Brazil, Aston Martin remains determined to finish the season on a high note. Their focus now shifts to the season finale in Abu Dhabi, where they will aim to regain their form and end the year on a positive note.
The team will be working hard to address the brake problems that plagued them in Brazil and ensure their cars are ready for a strong performance in the final race. They will also be looking to make the most of the remaining opportunities to climb the championship standings.
While the Brazilian Grand Prix was a disappointment for Aston Martin, the team remains confident in their ability to bounce back and achieve strong results in the future. They will be determined to learn from the brake issues and ensure they are better prepared for the next season.
