Alonso Praises Aston Martin’s ‘Phenomenal’ Car After Strong Finish in Brazil

After a disappointing outing in Mexico, Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso returned to the front of the field in São Paulo, finishing 12th in the Brazilian Grand Prix. Per Formula 1.com, Alonso praised the car’s performance, calling it “phenomenal” and noting that it was a key factor in his strong drive. The 12th‑place finish was the best result for the team since the start of the season, and it helped the drivers’ championship points tally by a narrow margin.

Alonso’s comments come at a time when the Aston Martin team has been steadily improving its competitiveness. The car’s handling and power unit have shown marked gains over the course of the season, and the team’s engineers have been working closely with Alonso to fine‑tune the setup for each circuit. The driver’s confidence in the machinery is evident, and he highlighted the importance of the car’s balance and reliability, which were critical on the fast and twisty streets of São Paulo.

While the 12th place was not a podium finish, it was a significant step forward for the team. The result also provided a boost to Aston Martin’s standing in the Constructors’ Championship, where they are currently positioned behind the front‑running teams but ahead of several rivals. Alonso’s performance in Brazil suggests that the team’s development trajectory is on the right path, and it keeps the hope alive for a stronger showing in the remaining races.
