The 43-year-old Spaniard, Fernando Alonso, has admitted that Aston Martin has faced a challenging start to the 2025 Formula 1 season. He is currently 17th in the drivers' championship without scoring a point. The team is seventh in the constructors' championship.

Alonso believes there are multiple factors contributing to the car's performance issues and expects a tough weekend at the Miami Grand Prix. Despite some past successes, Miami has not been a favorable track for them. The rule changes for 2026 and the addition of Adrian Newey offer hope for the future, but the current situation demands immediate solutions.
