Aston Martin's struggles continue at Monaco Grand Prix
Aston Martin struggled at Monaco Grand Prix as Fernando Alonso endured a session and the AMR26's problems left the team 19th, keeping them off the pace. Alonso faced brake issues and instability through the corners during the opening free practice.
The AMR26 suffered from aerodynamic imbalance and low downforce, hampering its speed in the twisty circuit. In qualifying, the team qualified 19th, unable to mount a strong race start.
The outcome threatens Aston Martin's season ambitions and pushes the engineering crew toward major upgrades.
