Fernando Alonso started eighth but could not bring home any points for Aston Martin in Sao Paulo as he finished in 12th.
Fernando Alonso praised his Aston Martin chassis as "phenomenal" through the corners during the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, highlighting how it allowed him to battle Ferrari and Mercedes machinery. Despite qualifying in a season-best eighth place in wet conditions, Alonso crossed the finish line in 12th place, just outside the points.

Alonso noted that with 21 races completed, the team clearly understands what areas need improvement.
