Aston Martin, seventh in the championship in 2022, are suddenly second in the standings and beating both Ferrari and Mercedes. Alonso said he had the same feeling that he got from testing last month — “too good to be true”. The car has areas that need improving but the project is still in its infancy, he added. “This is just the beginning. You know, this is not the final car, this is just the starting car of this concept that we changed over winter.
Alonso started fifth but dropped to seventh after making contact at turn four of the opening lap with Canadian teammate Lance Stroll, who finished sixth despite breaking both wrists and a toe in a cycling accident two weeks earlier.
