Fernando Alonso said Aston Martin gained no positives from the Monaco Grand Prix after finishing 10th for the team's first point of the 2026 season.
Double world champion Alonso finished the race in Monte Carlo after starting from 21st on the grid. He climbed to 11th before a post-race penalty to Cadillac's Sergio Perez moved him up one spot. The Spaniard highlighted weaknesses uncovered at different circuits this year. 'In Australia we found our engine was very down, in China we found our energy was very down, in Monaco we found our chassis is down and in Canada and in Miami we found that our gearbox was very bad,' he said. Adrian Newey, the team's managing technical partner, attended the event and gathered driver feedback. Alonso expressed confidence that upcoming updates would address the issues over the next four or five races. Driver ambassador Pedro de la Rosa called the single point special given the team's position. 'It's where we are coming from, how high the mountain we have still to climb in the next months,' he said.
