Alonso outlines when Aston Martin expect performance step forward

Fernando Alonso has suggested that significant performance gains for Aston Martin will likely arrive around the summer break, despite encouraging signs at the Canadian Grand Prix. While Alonso was forced to retire early due to a seat issue, he noted the car's improved pace compared to previous races and highlighted the strategic benefit of starting on soft tyres. Looking ahead, Alonso remains optimistic about the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix, noting that the circuit's slow nature could mitigate their current power deficit. Meanwhile, Lance Stroll struggled to find grip and tyre temperature at his home race, finishing in P15 and emphasizing that the team still has a significant amount of work ahead to improve the AMR26.
