What The F*** HAPPENED to Aston Martin's F1 Team?!

Показать описание

Quickly cast your mind back to the start of 2023. Before Red Bull won all but one race, before Verstappen’s dominance tanked F1 viewership numbers more than any scandal ever could, before any hope of a title battle had been ripped from our hearts. I’m talking about when Aston Martin turned up to race one in Bahrain and looked like potential race winners. It was a heady three and a half months as Fernando Alonso looked within touching distance of a race win, finding regular podiums in a way that had eluded him since his time at Ferrari a decade ago. Then the upgrades came, the car declined, and it’s become the same old story for Fernando Alonso. Aston Martin for those eight short races looked like they could become a new power within Formula One but everything fell apart. 16 points in the last five races which includes a sprint race, losing out to the likes of Haas and Alpine, it’s a collapse that has been far greater than Alpines, but far less public. So what on earth has happened to Aston Martin? And why is it so embarrassing for the team? I’m George, you're watching F1 Reverse, and this is Don’t @ Me, a break from our normal coverage to give me a chance to share my opinion on what's happening in F1. Let’s check it out.

It's a shame for Alonso, great pilot but the team just and Stroll....

It appears that Astons so called success early last year wasnt so much baswd on their performance, it was McLaren, Merc, and Ferrari were just way behind at the time. The best scenario for AM now is wait till Honda arrives. And hopefully theyll be competitive.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I really believe Alonso was instructed to “back out” a bit to make Lance look good.

Now its biting them as they couldn’t keep up with the upgrades and fell off

deathwatcher

I hope that the new regs and new partnership with Honda help the team out. The problem is both Strolls...tbh. Aston Martin is a dream car for my husband too, he would sell me, our son and possibly his soul to have one, any one in British Racing green..lol, same as you George, especially the safety car, he loves that car.

What happened to Aston Martin? They resigned Lance, that's what.

Great job, George! Great commentary and I'm hopeful that Aston Martin will do justice for Fernando and get him a competitive car.

They seem to do a soft bounce back in silverstone and they are getting a b spec new car in hungary and by how modular the upgrades have been, im praying this will be a serious bounce back

AnonymousCaveman

copied RB then lost their way because they just copied. Dan Fallows is just good for a few races.

They’re just waiting for Alonso to get out, so they can start winning, just like mclaren was.😅

Teams bring Upgrades while Aston Bring in Downgrades

It's quickly becoming an "Aston Martin Racing doing Aston Martin Racing things" meme. Here's hoping Alonso has some kind of performance clause in his freshly minted contract to bail if he wants. Obviously, he's stuck at AMR until next year, at least.

i personally think AM are only looking at 2026, take the ain for 2 seasons, get the wind tunnel time and look to dominate the scene from 2026,

Besides Lance not contributing a lot for the team, it could also be a Mercedes issue dumbing down on Aston Martin and/or them basically preparing for the switch to Honda.
Because once the new regulations gets approved around early-to-mid 2025, Aston Martin would want the earliest possible time to test.
