Alonso found Mexico City ‘difficult’ for Aston Martin

Aston Martin endured a challenging Mexico City Grand Prix, with both Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll failing to score points. Alonso was forced to retire mid-race due to a brake issue, exacerbating the team's reliability concerns, possibly linked to Mexico's high altitude. He also reported struggling for pace and early contact. Stroll, after spinning on the opening lap from P19, recovered to finish P14, acknowledging the track's historical difficulty. This disappointing weekend leaves Aston Martin precariously in seventh place in the Constructors' Championship, now just seven points ahead of a surging Haas. The team hopes for better fortunes in Brazil, where a Sprint race offers additional scoring opportunities.
