Alonso struggles with upgrades during Aston Martin’s Sprint Qualifying in Netherlands

Fernando Alonso faced challenges during Sprint Qualifying at the Dutch GP, finishing in last place. After practice, where he ranked 12th and felt positive about the team’s upgrades, both he and teammate Lance Stroll encountered drivability issues. Alonso specifically noted problems with his rear-wing system and engine control, contributing to his slow lap times. The team brought a new upgrade package featuring a revised power unit and aerodynamic changes, but they lacked sufficient practice time to evaluate these effectively. Aston Martin aims to address the issues before the main race tomorrow.
