Max Verstappen is currently leading the drivers championship with a 56-point advantage. The Aston Martin F1 driver has expressed his support for Verstappen to win his fourth consecutive title. While 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 outpacing Red Bull. However, two-time world champion Fernando Alonso believes that Red Bull’s precision and competitive teamwork will ultimately secure them the title. Despite the development of Ferrari and McLaren as worthy challengers, Alonso is convinced that Max Verstappen will emerge as the champion once again.
Fernando Alonso’s performance for Aston Martin has not been as impressive as last season, with only 41 points to his name so far. Despite the possibility of other race winners this season, Alonso believes that the championship will ultimately be won by Red Bull and Verstappen. The Aston Martin team principal has acknowledged the changes made to the AMR24 car compared to the previous year, which have negatively impacted their performance. Aston Martin has experienced a significant decline in their results this season, currently sitting fifth in the constructors’ championship with only 59 points. The team faces challenges of unpredictability and other concerns that require prompt resolution. They hope to gain a better understanding of their car and overcome these struggles in the upcoming race in Barcelona.
