Alonso believes his Aston Martin team needs a 'reset' during F1's summer break after having lost ground to its rivals in recent races.
That marked the worst qualifying result of the season for Alonso, who notably was second quickest over a flying lap in Saudi Arabia, Miami, Monaco and Canada.
He reckoned Aston Martin had virtually achieved its maximum at Silverstone, conceding it was impossible to see how the team could have climbed higher than the top eight. This performance meant the team needed to diagnose why the similar characteristics of Barcelona, the Red Bull Ring and Silverstone had disrupted the form of the AMR23.
Alonso, who scrapped into Q2 by 0.02s owing to late track evolution in a drying session, said:"Obviously, I'm never satisfied with between P9 and P12. I think it was not the strongest qualifying for the team so far but difficult to see where we can do a little bit better."We need to keep working, understanding, a few qualifying [sessions] already on circuits that we were not competitive.
"Barcelona, Austria and Silverstone - all three of them seem a little bit similar in a way in track characteristics. So, we need to understand that."
