Alonso rues ‘very frustrating’ retirement at Monza

Aston Martin endured a frustrating Italian Grand Prix, leaving Monza without a single point. Fernando Alonso, despite a strong start and moving up to P7, was forced to retire due to a suspension failure on his AMR25. The Spaniard expressed significant disappointment, highlighting a pattern of mechanical issues costing crucial championship points, following a similar retirement in Monaco. Meanwhile, teammate Lance Stroll finished in 18th place after a long first stint strategy failed to capitalize on an anticipated Safety Car. This result is a blow to Aston Martin's midfield battle, with Racing Bulls now just one point behind them. The team will be looking for a resurgence at the upcoming Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
