Fernando Alonso lived one Friday in the Miami Grand Prix, restart of the 2026 campaign of the Formula 1 after five weeks of break, which confirms that his course is going in a different direction than the rest, unfortunately. They are the last team on the grid, they did not even give a competitive lap in the sprint classification and they came out of free practice transmitting problems with vibrations. But they remain calm, it is the only thing they have left in the face of the great storm they are experiencing in the Great Circus.
This is how he transmitted it Alonso after the qualy sprint. He will start second to last and only improved by Stroll that he couldn’t even take a turn. “It’s the same car as the first races, and the others have improved. Since Japan and here in Miami. We are falling behind, but we accept it. We have a different program for the course and we must remain calm,” he said to the microphones of the F1TV.
Only focus on reliability and performance will not reach up to a ADUO They don’t dare to set a date either. “The vibes have improved. We made some changes from Japanand what we haven’t touched on is performance,” he confessed. Alonso. Although he suffered them in free play, perhaps he is seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. This will be shown in the race, where they will seek to complete the distance even if it is not with 100% of the performance available in the AMR26.

But it won’t be in Miami. Not at the start of the European tour in Monaco or Barcelona. The car remains the same in many factors, although not in weight, vibration or under-the-skin adjustments. “We are still far behind the others because the cars have improved and we have only touched on reliability. In terms of performance we are still one step behind,” the Spaniard concluded. He couldn’t even close a lap after a long turn after the active aerodynamics took a while to close completely. There is no luck.
Alonso, in the car.
We continue with the same problems
His only consolation is that he beats Strollin the only league that can fight because even cadillac has improved. The Canadian is living, for his part, a particular nightmare. “I suffered brake problems, we don’t know what and we continue analyzing them. I didn’t learn much in free practice, we still have the same problems as in free practice,” he stated in his case. Aston Martin follows the queue and the green shoots are still far from arriving. All you have to do is stay calm.
