Little encouraging weekend for Spanish pilots. The 2025 season has not started in the best way for Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz, who were left out of the points at the China Grand Prix. The Asturian had barely turned when Aston Mastin called the Spanish to remove the car. For his part, the Madrid is not yet comfortable at Williams and ended in the thirteenth position.
As soon as I started the race, Gasly warned that there was fire in the brakes of ’14’, and a few minutes later, Alonso himself confirmed it with a desperate radio that advanced the worst: “I can’t stop, I don’t have brakes!” A few moments later, he had to leave the track to mark his second ‘DNF’ of the season.
The problems for Silverstone’s team accumulate, which endures in the Constructors Championship as sixth with the 8 points Stroll by surprise in Australia. They leave Shanghai with 0 points and Alonso analyzed it: «The pedal went to the bottom. The brakes went to the garet, and from lap 1 they had warned me of watching them. Nor had the race started, something that has no greater explanation than dirt or the entrance of something, ”he told the media.
He already warned that the season would not be simple, and although he believes that there is a step forward, we will have to get used to seeing him outside the Top 10. Moreover, he places Aston Martin as seventh strength: «The ‘0’ will be common. Because we have four top, then the RB and Williams come, and we hoped to be there. We have to work hard to achieve points, ”he added.
All the hopes of Spanish fans then arrived in Sainz, however, he could not even enter the points. That Alex Albon, his partner, ended ninth with an extensive distance against Madrid, evidenced that Ferrari’s ex is not yet comfortable up to FW47. When asked about his performance, he said he fails to understand: «It’s difficult understand because. Right now I need a few days to Analyze it And sit calmly to see the back Bahrain I was very fast And it cost me very little to adapt to the car ».
At ’55’ a long session awaits with their engineers to find out where their weaknesses are: «I am convinced that at a correct level with this car I will be able to struggle For more things. So what you have to find is that level beforepossible And analyze why this weekend we have not been at the level to which I hope to be, ”he concluded.
The next F1 stop will be at the Japan Grand Prix, where both hope to show a completely different face from what was seen so far. Suzuka will be a favorable circuit for McLaren, however, Williams has ballots to get points and Alonso will seek to approach the sixth since he got last year on the same track.
