Alonso Says New F1 Rules Shift Focus to Car Performance Over Driver Skill

Alonso noted that the Aston Martin AMR26 remains uncompetitive and will rely on upcoming upgrades to improve performance. The new rulebook reduces opportunities for aggressive cornering and late braking, putting greater emphasis on battery strategy.

Entering the British Grand Prix from 22nd on the grid, the team must adopt a tactical approach to score points. Alonso added that the season’s second half will be crucial for achieving better results.
