In the team of Fernando Alonso They will release factory, wind tunnel, simulator and a new engineering team headed by the best in their own, Adrian Newy. But all that is not enough if the pieces do not fit and for the moment in Aston Martin They do not.
Alonso is still waiting for something that does not arrive
The processes have to go to the millimeter and a good team is defined by their ability to get out of problems In a reasonable time. Today, despite not having the best car, Red Bull is the most evolved organization. And also, he has a pilot, Max Verstappen, who can make up many things on the track.
In the case of Aston Martin el panorama is not simple. Since his address, everything has been fought to 2026, the year of the change of technical regulations that will last many years, but have left this campaign outside. And that is affecting them because today they are little less than the Last grill team. That, of course, comes to a Fernando Alonso who Keep behind the bell. Waiting for a something that does not arrive.
That has not arrived for more than 12 years, when the last victory was achieved in Barcelona. And let’s not say the possibility of having a car capable of, at least, fighting the title. The closest thing that was in these last 11 eleven years fell, paradoxically, with Aston Martin in 2023.
And is that Not all talented athletes trust their possibilities or in his innate talent when everything seems to go against him. Alonso has smell. He knows where opportunities await him and seeks them as a hound: until the end. If on the road it has been years and shields, it is another story and another article. Today, what matters to us is to know how the Asturian pilot does to be, as the song says, as a reed: that it bends, but always stands.
Alonso’s story goes beyond the result
Why Any other pilot would have finished patience Seeing that Aston Martin not only does not raise the flight, but not any sign that feeds it, today, at least. Alonso will turn 44 in summer and, even if he starts altering himself by sending a message to the team publicly such as when they ignored him with the sprint strategy, he maintains an exemplary patience and hyper motivation despite being far from fighting for nothing. “Sometimes, are you getting tired, right?” They asked him. No, nothing, I don’t get tired, “he said. “Little goals keep me quite motivated.”
And when we talk about a Resilient person We do it from a person who has the ability to change the perspective when there is a crisis or a situation of extreme stress or difficulty. A person who does not get carried away by hopelessness and discouragement. That requires large doses of energy and motivation.
Alonso represents something else. It represents the pilot who forms in the difficulty. That does not need ideal conditions to shine. That does not seek validation, but in the consistency of his work.
And there is Alonso, who does not lose faith. Nor the commitment. It is not seen frustrated, but challenging. As if every setback sharpened it. As if adversity were part of the ritual that keeps him alive In this game where everyone, sooner or later, goes out. Surely because its illusion is in 2026 when the first Aston Martin designed by Adrian Newey goes to the track.
At a time where formula 1 is filled with young promises, latest generation simulators and races designed to the millimeter, Alonso represents something else. It represents the pilot who forms in the difficulty. That does not need ideal conditions to shine. That does not seek validation, but in the consistency of his work. And there it is, as from the first day, as 24 years ago in its first season at the controls of that mine.
That is why it is not surprising that, Even with a car that does not respond, continue capturing headlines. Because its story goes beyond a result. His permanence in time is a silent statement that resilience also gains careers. Although not always appears on the podium.
