Alonso left frustrated by Aston Martin’s F1 weekend pattern

Fernando Alonso voiced frustration over Aston Martin's "gradual decline" in pace throughout the United States Grand Prix weekend, despite scoring a solitary point. The Spaniard noted a trend of strong Fridays followed by a drop-off by Sunday, joking about his relief the event was only three days. He finished 10th in both qualifying and the race, emphasizing the team's need to understand this performance fade and build momentum. Teammate Lance Stroll endured a tougher Sprint after a collision and penalty, but recovered impressively from 19th to 12th in the main race, finding the car "feeling good" on Sunday. Both drivers are now eyeing improved pace for the upcoming Mexican Grand Prix.
