Fernando Alonso expressed his enthuisiasm about Aston Martin’s improved performance after a solid P5 in Belgium and declared the team is back in the mix with the top teams.<\/p>\n
The green cars have suffered a significant dip in form in the last couple of races, having been a regular podium contender in the opening stages of the 2023 season.<\/p>\n
But on Spa-Francorchamps Alonso battled his way from P9 on the grid to finish fifth, trailing only the Red Bulls, the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc and the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we are happier, we are feeling fast again,\u201d Alonso said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe strategy was perfect, the start was good, pit stops good as well, and the pace of the car back in the mix with the top teams.”<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we can go into the summer break a little bit more optimistic, but with the feet on the ground, knowing that we still lost a little bit of competitiveness since the beginning of the year, so more to come from Aston Martin hopefully after the summer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
