Aston Martin going BACKWARDS. Again.

Aston Martin had a reality check at Imola. Mercedes are long gone.
In this video, we dive deep into the unfolding crisis at Aston Martin, where Fernando Alonso has just faced his worst ever Formula 1 result, finishing a shocking 19th. The team's performance has plummeted, with ineffective upgrades turning their car into a difficult beast to handle. Internal tensions are running high, especially with Lance Stroll benefiting from strategic decisions at Alonso's expense. We explore how a once-promising team is now mired in leadership issues, frustrated investors like Honda and Aramco, and a toxic work environment. Discover the unsettling truth behind Aston Martin's decline, the struggles of their bold upgrade package, and the growing pressure from big investors. Can Aston Martin recover from this slump, or is this the beginning of a steep and irreversible decline? With speculation about Alonso's dissatisfaction and potential team changes, we examine the future of this iconic team. Tune in to uncover the shocking realities and what lies ahead for Aston Martin.

Really wish all drivers were treated the same when their teams regress. Hope AM get it together, because watching Fernando race is so much fun. Hopefully losing in a race to lance is an outlier. Really hope Aston isnt screwing him over, but you make some REALLY interesting points. I find angry Fernando amd Max are on a tier of their own with Yuki. Lewis didnt deserve that stray 😂😂😂😂

[@MrGulaorou]

The fact that Lance is still there after his constant mediocre performances says everything about the team right now. If they were serious they would have found a new driver that can perform consistently and pull as much performance as possible out of the car, like Fernando. I worry that they are favouring Lance over Fernando and aren’t even using any of Fernando’s feedback. I feel like Lance would not give the same quality of feedback to the engineers which is why the car seems to be moving backwards in terms of upgrades. If Stroll Sr. really wants a championship winning team, he needs to identify roadblocks without bias.

[@legoferrari14]

At minimum, Lawrence needs to swap Lance into the test driver seat and get Drugovich in the car, at least for one race weekend

[@Thuddster]

From the outside, it does appear that possibly, Krack (with Papa Stroll's backing) is now really going to base car development on Lance's feedback and preferences. If it doesn't pan out with positive results, that might help Papa justify (to himself and Lance, mostly) finally moving Lance out of the race seat. This would make room for Yuki, thus appeasing Honda, investors, sponsors, and Fernando. Something of a "prove it, Lance" situation.

[@MrGulaorou]

@@Thuddster I hope you're right, but that might come too late. Lawrence Stroll will keep Lance there as long as Lance's indifference lasts. It might be a "chicken/egg" situation where Lawrence wants Lance there because he thinks Lance still wants to be a Formula 1 driver, and Lance is only there still because he thinks it means so much to his father, lol. Pure speculation, but who knows.

[@warren010h]

​@@MrGulaorou You said perfectly what I've been thinkng. Lance doesn't really seem all that enthused about being in the sport anymore. Either that, or he feels no pressure and thats what we're seeing.

[@GloomGaiGar]

They are serious! Serious about wasting money on mediocrity.

[@MrChologno]

Alonso was trying different setups on the race because the wind tunnel data was not matching behavior on track (Mercedes wind tunnel). He pitted several times gathering data with different ride heights and floor geometry opposite to Lance's. Aston Martin's issues right now is that they lose a ton of downforce on bumpy circuits like Imola, same will happen in Monaco.

[@ProgramKiraTV]

I heard some news that Alonso and AM were treating the race as a test and running equal stints on each compound to learn where the gaps are between the wind tunnel and the race track.

[@Uno.Numero]

Well the initial surge in Aston Martin's performance was due to Seb's relentless pushing for development and by giving an accurate roadmap of the development path. After the first half which is where the Seb's effect was till Aston were flying, after which the decline is for all of us to see. As Aston had admitted that Seb was a performance engineer and not just the driver. So, this is the reality of Aston Martin.

[@revahan]

ever since they published that the team is built around lance, Alonso's performance has tanked and everything has gone down, despite the fact the start of the season was amazing and once he signed the contract, dip. I was typing this as you were reaching for the foam LMAO

[@ChuyR.]

When does he use the foam?

[@revahan]

Another note, if the team is being built around lance, including the upgrades, that could be why alonso is tanking since papa stroll wants his son to win the title in 2026. honda and aramco want a champion and they picture fernando but daddy and son want it for themselves and would rather take the team down with it to try and boost themselves, rather than boosting the team

[@desshinnick9365]

Alonso's sole job is to be number 2 and to help Lance get further up the field. It's all about Lance. Like Mike Krack has said, this team is built around Lance. The only way Lance is out is if he loses his super licence.

"a team culture of fear, intimidation, big money/presure" is what we accidentally witnessed last year, when Lance pushed that mechanic, while Aston Martin remained uncomfortably quite on the matter! The fact AM's campaign evolves solely around the bosses underwhelming son is a madness that's embarrassing to watch - Stroll is humiliating/tarnishing the respected name of Aston Martin!

[@mrsoisauce9017]

That last part depends on how you look at it. In F1, this is absolutely true. Outside of F1, Lawrence has done nothing but great things for the Aston Martin brand. From that perspective, the Stroll name is an absolute high point in the story of Aston Martin, especially as the brand appears to be entering a new golden age with the DB12 and other new releases

*(Rant about AM's current performance in 2024, from a casual F1 fan's perspective.)* Aston Martin, you as a team (from Lawerence Stroll to the management team to the engineers hard at work improving the car) need to step up your A-Game. [after the summer break and 2025 pre-season and F1 Season]. I had high hopes for you as another British team *since 2021 (when you bought Racing Point)* to regularly compete for podiums, top 5 finishes and occasional wins by strategy or pure luck [though I doubt it cus, *Max Verstappen.* ]. You had a competitive midfield car last year (8 podiums in 22 race entries)! One-third of the season, and imo right now this is *beyond woeful.* (Sidenote: Haas, Alpine, Williams and Sauber, you guys aren't scot-free) Honestly guys, *please get your act together.* I'm always hoping for another season like 2012 (6 different drivers from 5 different F1 teams winning a race in that single season, *in a row).* I *love competition, teams fighting it out for the coveted WDC trophy come Abu Dhabi or Brazil (that's how I got into F1),* and this is *just not it.* If you don't step it up come Monaco or British GP or after the summer break (at least top 5 finish in one of the next few races before summer break after the completion of Spa), *I don't know if I can support you anymore.* I sincerely hope that this performance from AM (and other teams like Alpine, Sauber [2026-Audi], Haas, Williams and VCARB tanking to develop their car early for next year) isn't part of their current and long-term roadmap because *HOT TAKES for AM (maybe/maybe not, we'll see):* - Drive to Survive *will eventually* get cancelled by Netflix (because viewership will tank yr-on-yr if the narrative stays the same *[Max Verstappen dominating, occasional podiums from other teams, and Max Verstappen taking the title, rinse and repeat]* and it's boring imo for US audience fans who used to see *different teams win in American Sports* like NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, etc). - AM might not be able to compete for F1 WDC come 2026/2027, and *AM gets sold to another investor/manufacturer come 2030/2035.*

Dont AM still use the Mercedes Wind Tunnel … All Mercedes usually say the car looks good in the wind tunnel but not on track, the same issue with AM.. Maybe the Wind Tunnel sim needs recalibrating

[@joshuafleckenstein351]

I’m convinced Alonso can drive any car to its limit, but he can’t develop it. I might be wrong, and I’m happy to be proven wrong, but it seems like his preference of understeer slows down the car.

[@ELSTERLING]

Many years ago it was occasionally suggested that one of the issues with Fernando Alonso was that he wasn't a good development driver and honestly I'm feeling more and more inclined to believe that as AM slide backwards from wherever they started the year and have upgrades fail again and again. To be clear this isn't all his fault; most of it has to be traced to the team's structure and workflow and, let's be real, having a more competent, less apathetic driver in the second seat would absolutely help but you've got to wonder at this stage.

[@Seafury18]

7:39 This aged well. Suprisingly or Unsuprisingly Aston Martin was the only team to be slower than their 2023 Qualifying runs, not helped by the fact that alonso didn't manage to get a clean lap in Q1, but also the fact that even in his fastest Q1 lap, his sector 1 was 0.2s slower than the fastest time set at the time (I think it was piastri). One idea from a reddit comment I saw was that, the engineers that AM poached from Red Bull esp Dan Fallows bring in whatever concept that made the Red Bull great into the AMR23, but as soon as they bring upgrades which moved away from the concept, thats where the consistency and balance of the car start to fall disappear. I really hope that their new wind tunnel will help mitigate their corelation issues

I wish AMR gets better. but the way its looking the best they can do for monaco is bring back AMR23 from monaco. Maybe theyll get points easily with it

[@ELSTERLING]

Okay, tin-hat on the Vettel thing, but I couldn't help but notice he skipped the rounds where the Aramco investors would have been in 2022 and I think his 'sickness' was more likely him being briefly sidelined for refusing to toe the party line and pretend he was okay working with one of the more infamous petrochemical companies and human-rights violators in the Saud family on their home soil. I don't think he was very happy there anyway and I think this might have been the final straw.

The fact Seb did not name his 2022 car should have been a red flag immediately, the more I started thinking about it the more sense it makes.

[@koren9858]

Honda is funny they left f1 just as their customer team Red bull started becoming most dominant car and then they lost the glory when red bull power trains started to muddy the water. Now they will return to declining Aston and demand they become championship winning car.

Alonso getting another GP2 engine will be funny as hell. 😂
