Aston Martin at the Spanish GP scored no points as their drivers could not manage to finish within top 10. Fernando Alonso was left unhappy after another disappointing race for him and the team at his home Grand Prix.

Fernando Alonso expressed his frustration post-race. He acknowledged there’s nothing he can do to change the past. The Spaniard stated, the moment he saw the chequered flag, he switched focus to Austria and reckoned on what he can do differently to improve. Alonso expects the next race to be challenging as well. He noted that the track has some similarities to the one in Barcelona, particularly with its long corners, which could make it a difficult race.

It is frustrating but there's nothing you can do now so you start thinking in Austria immediately when you see the chequered flag and what you can do differently. But I think it's gonna be painful as well because it has some characteristics of Barcelona, with the long corners.

Fernando Alonso said, as reported by motorsport.com

The Spaniard explained, the next two races will be more tough which are Austria and Silverstone. The 42-year-old know the importance of staying calm and not getting too frustrated by the setbacks. He highlighted that the team should focus on working harder, talking less about their problems, and delivering better results on the track. Alonso stated their goal is to convert their efforts into better performance and outcomes in future races.

It's going to be another tough weekend, also in Silverstone, arguably. We cannot get too frustrated. It's time to work harder, to talk less, to deliver more. It's what we want to do.

I'm looking forward, but we've been upgrading the car a lot and we didn't deliver the results. So now it's also a matter of whatever we bring to the track, it does deliver what we expect and we start getting better and better.

Fernando Alonso explained

He reckoned the importance of focusing on actions rather than making a lot of promises or talking too much. When asked why teams upgrades haven’t been successful, he replied he’s a driver not a technician to consider this question.

So as I said, we need to work hard, get better every race, but without too much talking or promising.I'm a driver, not a technician
