Fernando Alonso has expressed his concern after failing to score any points in Monaco on Sunday, the second straight race he hasn’t managed to finish in the top 10 after scoring in the opening six races.
His P11 was at least more encouraging than the 19th-place finish he delivered in Imola, but there are reasons to be concerned for Aston Martin heading into the middle part of the season.

The start of the season saw a clear split between the top teams – Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes and Aston Martin – and the rest, but of late the field has closed up. RB are a regular feature in the top 10, and Haas have made forays into the points as well. Alpine are improving, and Williams are showing promise in the hands of Alex Albon.
As such, Aston Martin are finding points harder to come by of late, with Alonso and Lance Stroll failing to deliver any in the Principality. They did at least try an alternate strategy to mix things up, with Alonso playing the team game and backing up the pack to create a gap for Stroll to pit and chase after the last point on offer, but the Canadian hit the walls and punctured his tyre to end any chances of a point as he came home 14th.
