Fernando Alonso Look with maximum ambition to Great Britain Prize. First because it is in a spectacular state of form and showing an unbeatable piloting in the last races and second for the improvements it will present Aston Martin In your home appointment. But there is an addition that has historically favored Spanish: rain, and for this weekend the probability is quite high.
Specifically 60% of the classification and 40% in the race. Alonso did not stand well from the first and, until now, the only wet test of the Formula 1 2025 Worldbut trust, if it finally rains, give everything and get the best possible result of a crazy envy. The closest precedent is the GP of Australia with which the championship was inaugurated, where because of the gravel he raised Pierre Gasly In curve 6 he went against the walls.
For Friday the weather forecast that will be clear, but Saturday and Sunday the expected event in Silverstone could be passed by water. Alonso will test the improvements in the two training sessions and in the third, in principle, he would do it with rain tires. Aston Martin prepares his second package of significant novelties of the season and has chosen his house GP (you can reach the circuit on foot from the factory) to try to give a blow of effect and solve the main problem of its car.
This is none other than the loss of speed in lines, a rowing that has been condemning Alonso from the first day of the World Cup. The Asturian also pointed out perfectly that this is the biggest problem in the car, hitting the rear wing of the Racing Bulls of Liam Lawson in it Austria GP For more than half a race to hold on to seventh position.
Alonso confirmed that there will be improvements
A true magic trick that surprised the team, but with which he also forced him to react once and solve a defect with which they can scratch more than a tenth and definitely dominate the middle zone. They were not planned and finally the improvements will arrive in Silverstone. The key to this second package after Imolawho worked and gave Alonso a push, was the presence of Adrian Newy in it Monaco GPwhere he saw that one could still be taken without mortgaging the development of the 2026 car.
The British engineer leads the design of the next car, adapted to the new F1 regulations, but has helped in these updates tested in the Aston Martin's own wind tunnel. Alonso awaits them as a May water and advanced that there may still be another retouching in spa that leads him to fight for a podium in some frantic race, as Silverstone is aimed if there is finally flood.
