ALONSO HAS HAD ENOUGH AND INSPECTS MCLAREN! ASTON MARTIN GOES FROM PODIUM TO BEING LAPPED

Start very good everyone and welcome to this video as an editorial that you already know that we make on many occasions on post-grand prix Sundays about something that you want to comment on. And in this case we are going to talk about the situation of Aston Martin, there are four points that I want play, of course, we are going to rely on statements from Alonso himself, in my own opinion, without further ado, on what has happened in this zanor grand prix. And even the first thing I want to show you is an interesting topic that has been talked about a lot on social networks. So I want to tell you about it and now, this will be the video. I don't know how long it will last, but in the description you will have all the moments where each section of the video will begin in case you want to skip any part, the first thing I want to show you and what it is. What has been giving us something to talk about during this Fernando Alonso has had enough and inspects the differences between the McLaren F1 and Aston Martin F1 himself. afternoon today after the grand prix in the Netherlands have been these photographs where we have seen a Fernando Alonso who is no longer hiding and has already begun to inspect the McLaren and compare it with his prop Aston Martin This is not something out of the ordinary that is something that many drivers do This is something that Alonso has done in the past This is something that engineers do and it is merely desperation to do it as he has done Alonso by de I don't know what's happening I don't know what they have different And try to see it I want to say this that it is mere desperation in the fact of all the cars all the pils all the teams have images from all angles of all the We have hardly any cars, we only need to see the floors, the teams, even some floors that others have with good quality. So, well, that's another issue . In the end, all the teams have images of all the cars, this is mere despair of the fact that I don't know what is different. And try to see it by comparing it at the moment that you have the two cars next to you, but I want to show you that it has given a lot of value. What to talk about, the driver himself has spoken. So now we will also show you his own words or they have even spoken about athletes. I have seen Spaniards who are not involved in motorsports about this action. We are now uploaded to the Lance stroll stroll onboard and we see that in the Park Ferme has parked right behind Alonso and Alonso has parked right behind Óscar Piastri Of course further ahead are the three drivers who have reached the podium who are Lecler who is Norris and who is Verstapen but the Pias car is parked next to everyone them and Alonso has taken the opportunity to make a comparison, then we are going to show you the sequence quickly so that we can see it because I cannot show you the video but well, we are going to go capture by capture little by little and we are going to show you how Fernando Alonso lowers the car. move now stroll , some photographs are also going to bother the visibility a little, nothing can be done to it, obviously stroll is not there for us to see, it is not a Fernando Alonso camera No, but we have used it taking captures so that we can see how Alonso sees the The car is going backwards while, as I told you, the stroll is leaving the car as well, and look at the area where it starts to look. What is it looking at? Well, it is mainly the diffuser, the rear part of the flat bottom, one of the parts. where the most aerodynamic load is generated we already know that the flat bottom the flat bottom not the bottom the floor of the cars because it is not flat I mean it is what generates the most aerodynamic load together with the diffuser these two components that are closely linked Which is practically not the same but let's practically say that it is the same because what is always said is that the ground generates 70 percent of the aerodynamic load. But it is generated by both the ground and the diffuser. That's why I say that they are closely linked. So that's what can be done. see from this area and we see how Alonso is getting comfortable, even getting to bend down to see that ground that he has and now we go to Alonso's car because he has parked right behind Oscar Piastri, he has had to take us too much for a walk, we see how it goes Appearing here after having seen his own ground, he is going towards the McLaren and look. As you bend down and look at the floor of the McLaren, you can't see too much either. You would need to see all the Venturi channels at the back and below, but hey, at least this part and see if there is something different between the two. caston Martin is doing a job and we have even compared this here also because in that area you can take photographs to try to resemble them as much as possible but it is not even just about resembling but rather the whole thing has to work. car to perfection the mclaren right now of course it is the best car on the grid not only because of how it works not only because of the downforce it is capable of generating but also because of how they take care of the tires clearly it is the best car in all aspects And that has led to the fact that today, for example, they had a 22-second advantage. Look at how he keeps bending down to see, to try to inspect more, some of the pilots, we see what they are passing. No, look at this, this is just Checo Pérez, he is going to pass. Now one of the drivers because I know it's Checo Pérez because Verstapen is up ahead. So if not I wouldn't be here Czech then one of the two Williams that we are here passing by I imagine that well I was going to say that I imagine that it is Albon it could perfectly be Saran and we see how Fernando Alonso gets up And instead of saying Well, I've already seen it, I'm leaving, he's not going back. Notice how good the tire is touching, the truth is that it is Exactly the same, we get back into Lance Stroll's car, which is already stroll here he is gone we see one Carlos you know in this case that it is now who is passing also for example we see that what I told you about that in the end everyone looks at the cars notice that Carlos is looking at the Aston Martin even then I'm going to tell you show some photograph but we see Fernando Alonso returning to the same position in which he was previously here we are seeing one of the rb pass and we see Alonso no longer crouch down to look at the same area and visually treat the The same thing about making that comparison and seeing that there is something different, you will see, well, man, it's not much use, is what I'm telling you, but hey, maybe you can say, Hey, I've seen this, why do we have this different thing, and you can at least put it in some pressure he turns to go for adante he goes back to the mclaren he crouches down again he compares what he has seen with what he has The mclaren's not in this sense and now notice that he goes forward again many of you will think well it's already over No He's leaving, he's going to the Aston Martin box and he doesn't continue going forward and notice that now he has changed he has stopped and is looking at the McLaren again, look where he is looking he is looking at the front of the car we get into the McLaren Since we have a better view from here we see that he also has one of the Sauber's in front of him and here, Fernando Alonso begins to look and inspect the area in front a little, one could also think that he is looking a little at the entrance that the entrance of the yes, Aston Martin's is identical to that of the teams in the front zone, which does not change too much because you can look at it and you can copy it in the end. The entry is not the most important thing. The important thing is what there is. Below, you can't even see the rear part as much, which is where Alonso has been looking the most. That's more important than the entrance. But hey, he's not just looking at it. He can look at the front part. He can look at the suspensions, because the system is completely different. the one from mclaren to the one from Aston Martin Aston Martin has Push rot and mclaren has Pull rot just as it also has redb good to know it also has Pull rot that later you can also have it and it doesn't work of course But well that's what He's wearing McLaren and here he is a little, he's crouching down, he's changing his shape a little to see it to check it out. I found this photograph that was quite popular because they are also in good quality. I mean because it's not just these photographs from the car. from the cars but it is in good quality This was in the United States last year one of the worst races that Aston Martin had after a hugely impressive package of improvements there were many expectations It didn't work and in the That's in the classification this is in the Sprint race, sorry we see that Verstapen has achieved the victory And well, simply looking at it when it happened Well, maybe this was the photograph that is most remembered because as many drivers like us do I have also seen Carlos Sainz do it in this case before, which I have highlighted to you or This is something that I say is very common to do, the pilots do it a lot, he has done it on several occasions, for example, Sebastian Betel He was one of the pilots who did it the most Alonso has done it, this is the photograph that we have found in good quality but he has done it on many occasions, he has done it this same season also with the McLaren and with the Red Bull many times, this is what I tell you, it will be of some use Let's see, the fact that a pilot is going to look at it is not going to be of much use because it is not going to generate a gigantic difference. What is going to be useful is maybe putting a little pressure on going and saying, Hey, why? We have this different, yes, I have been looking at the McLaren and they have it like this or that, it is the only thing that can really be done but the truth is that it cannot be made much more of a difference, this has no longer made a difference and it is not going to make much of a difference. It doesn't make any difference that I'm watching it now, we're going to put the sequence a little faster just so we can see and we're going to move on to the next topic. I can't put the video on for you. The video is on social networks. If you want it, Leo challenged the tweet he posted. Post this video in case you want, go see it so go to my Twitter profile and you will find it and basically this is it, let's go, the McLaren is looking there, he looks again at the Aston Martin, he crouches down, he looks at the ground, he comes back to Adamant, he comes back. to look at the McLaren and then he goes to the front area and looks at that front wing, the front part of the car, and that's where this whole sequence ends, so well, this is what we have had with Fernando Alonso, Fernando Alonso himself has spoken about this sequence and about Having been ‘We have a lot to learn from them,’ says Fernando Alonso after inspecting the MCL38. looking at the McLaren, he has not hidden it, I repeat that it is not something out of the ordinary, it is something that many drivers have done and it is the same thing that he has said, what he commented at the press conference. basically it is that they are the best car and that everyone tries to be inspired as much as possible by the cars that they are leading, that is why he tries to visually compare the mcclaren with the Aston Martin and what he has said is that they have a lot to learn Yes man it is the car that dominates the Championship right now eh you always try to be inspired by other cars in which those that are winning And surely we have a lot to learn from them and Of course they have a lot to learn from McLaren not only Aston Martin, I mean we always mention Aston Martin F1's situation is dire: from podium to being lapped in 365 days Aston Martin as the team that was ahead of McLaren and now it is behind, not after the great improvements that McLaren has made, really the entire grid because the one that was not in front of McLaren was on par with mclaren at the beginning of 2023 at the beginning of 2023 they fall in q1 the two drivers in Bin So Bin It was a circuit that chokes mclaren, it has no longer been the case this year but I mean in 2022 and in 2023 they will choked I say this because after a couple of races Well, they were already a team that went from q2 to q3 depending on the circumstance piastri in Saudi Arabia, for example, classifies in q3 in 2020 in 2023 but they started with neither of the two drivers passing to q3 to q2 not even and today they are where they are So not only Aston Martin of course not but everyone has a lot to learn from Aston from what McLaren has done is that even the Red Bull team itself is that look at where it was McLaren last year, I'm not saying at the beginning of the season. Even on this same circuit, on this same circuit, no matter how much, uh, McLaren was much better, it was ahead, it still dominated, and still , uh, Red Bull on this circuit, today there are 22 seconds left, I repeat, 22. seconds behind McLaren, behind Lando Norris and having a bad start, and that has also been detrimental because it has taken much longer for Lando Norris to take the lead if there had not been Lando Norris was leading much earlier and he would have had more advantage in the end. He didn't start leading until after about 18 laps, I think that was when he was leading, so everyone has a lot to learn from McLaren, which is why he has been able to make mclaren has a lot to learn from other things but it is not about the topic of the video but the thing is that Aston Martin's situation is terrible, that is, it is the worst circumstance that could have occurred on the circuit, one of the best circuits that Aston had Martin last year Aston Martin last year at this point it was no longer the car from the beginning of the season it was no longer the second best car on the grid they no longer had as much of an advantage as they had in the first races with all that Alonso did second did the fastest lap in the dry and not because he put a soft tire at the end but because he was really having that pace and he ended up obviously not winning that race because he came second, it was won by Max Stappen but he ended up attacking Verstapen in that red flag exit and in the Dry having reached the pace of the Red Bull that was last year that was in zor 2023 in zor 2 24 Alonso has been Doubled by McLaren it has been Doubled by Lando Norris from the podium to be doubled that has been the change in 365 days approximately to achieve a stratospheric podium conditioned by the weather situation yes no yes it helped of course they were not really in that rhythm and even if they had not reached the podium they were fighting for the upper zone from that to being doubled to being widely surpassed even by Hamilton who was starting 15th to go from starting seventh to tenth it could have been ninth Yes it could have been ninth the objective was at least to have been ninth of course but Pierre Gasli even slipped ahead of you because he had the same pace as you I'm not going anymore to say Better I'm not going to say worse and it was Aston Martin's fault because obviously not today Aston Martin hasn't done anything wrong but that's how Gasly has been ahead because the pace is similar to the Alpin similar to You have them similar to the Williams, you are in that middle zone in which in some circuits you are going to be better, you are going to be worse. And that has been the change in 365 days. This is the situation of Aston Martin and this is something that must be taken into account. It counts and it is something that in many of these opinion videos I have told you, the situation of Aston Martin has also changed. I criticize the fact that last year they were where they were and today they are here, I do not criticize today's result, which is even good. disappointing because they should have been ninth and tenth Because also on that circuit Even though they were in that fight So I think they were in that fight to be the fifth car with ease but that is what can be criticized today but the situation is that Aston Martin is this and we also have to understand it. And Alonso said that today also at the press conference. We will bring you the statements later, but today Alonso said that we have to, which is what I have been saying since the beginning of the season. You have to know what Aston Martin is fighting for. I constantly see in my comments in the video comments many times saying Today there is a podium. Look if the circumstance arises. There may be a podium but you can't go away thinking that it is going to happen. to have a podium because there is no rhythm for there to be a podium if the circumstances are met and you stand like you stood in Monaco last year on the podium Well, well, it could be like gas the year passed in zor it could be but gasli yes it was because of the weather situation and it was because of the weather situation Because Ferrari was not there because Norris and because Russell disappeared and because he checked on him when he was second he made a mistake and left and that already allowed Gasli to be on the podium otherwise Gasl would not have been there Alonso yes He had the pace to be on the podium. That's why I say it's not the same as Alonso. He wasn't there because of the weather situation. Gasl, yes, but if that's not the case, you're not going to get podiums right now and it's not Aston Martin's position. and it is the change that has occurred in recent years the situation is even worse than at the beginning Fernando Alonso now yearns for the situation at the start of the season: ‘We weren't fighting against the top four either, but the guys at the back weren't a threat’. of the season Aston Martin is at an even lower point than where they were at the beginning of the year and at the beginning of the year you were also a nonconformist at the beginning of the year Aston Martin was the fifth car being able to fight in classification Even if it was and then because you tried to defend yourself in the race there were times when you couldn't defend yourself in the race because you already fell to ninth position but yes no no yes no Was that the case well you even managed to defend yourself but at the beginning of the year Aston Martin was the fifth car closest the furthest from the four cars in front I don't care it was in the fifth car they were not even close to fighting On the podium they started being close to McLaren and Mercedes Today they are almost the two best cars Although Mercedes did poorly in Zanor but that is another topic let's put the group of four cars in front and Aston Martin was the fifth car and they had an advantage very big compared to the sixth one was non-conformist because it is good to be non-conformist because you have to aspire to more because you have to aspire to be the best so it was good in that sense but what you were not satisfied with at the beginning of the season what you wanted more Obviously It is logical that Alonso wanted more today at a press conference. What he said was, I hope to return to the situation at the beginning of the season . You were not close to the four cars in front, you were not going to reach the podiums, which was a situation similar to the current one in that sense. But you were closer to them and at least you were calm, you were not in the fact of the teams behind. They were a danger, it's that today it's not just that Gasly is a danger to you because Gasli has even been ahead, it's that he could undercut you and Hulkenberg has made things difficult and in the end you almost missed out on points even because Hulkenberg be able to defend itself, that is, they are a real danger. At the beginning of the year, not even those cars were a danger, so we have gone from trying to see if with the improvements we can fight for more to at least. I hope to be back where we were. It was at the beginning of the year But I wish we could be a little more in no man's land like We started the year that we couldn't with The Four at the top but those at the back weren't as big a danger as they are now so well this has This has been all for this video this has been all for Conclusion and end this editorial route, as I say, leave me your opinions in the comments on the topics we have talked about, I would love to know your opinion about them, if you liked the video, leave a like, subscribe and I'll remind you. you can become a member and see you next time
