Max Verstappen currently leads the drivers’ championship with a 56-point advantage. The Aston Martin F1 driver expressed his support for Verstappen to win his fourth consecutive title. Although Red Bull has not been as dominant as in previous seasons, they still maintain their position at the top of the standings. Ferrari and McLaren have shown strong performances this year, occasionally surpassing Red Bull. However, two-time world champion Fernando Alonso believes that Red Bull’s precision and competitive teamwork will ultimately secure the title for them. Despite Ferrari and McLaren’s development as worthy challengers, Alonso is convinced that Max Verstappen will emerge as champion once again.
Fernando Alonso’s performance for Aston Martin has not been as impressive as last season, with only 41 points so far. Despite the possibility of other race winners this season, Alonso believes that the championship will be won by Red Bull and Verstappen. The Aston Martin team director acknowledged the changes made to the AMR24 car compared to the previous year, which had a negative impact on their performance. Aston Martin has experienced a significant drop in their results this season, currently occupying fifth place in the constructors’ championship with only 59 points. The team faces challenges of unpredictability and other concerns that require quick resolution. They hope to gain a better understanding of their car and overcome these difficulties in the next race in Barcelona.
