But off track or with the helmet off, maybe they are a bit the same and more shy in the way they approach things. They have people who talk for them, for management, for media, for fitness. They’re well prepared, but maybe they lost a little bit their own character.

The veteran Spaniard concluded that drivers need to develop their personalities off the track to have a better experience and stature on the track as well.

We need to prove it, we need to not talk and deliver the results. We've been bringing in a lot of new parts to the car and some of them they work, some of them they didn't. Hopefully, in Hungary we have a positive surprise.

Alonso has claimed that Aston Martin has been on a roll in terms of bringing newer upgrades to the car with hopes of better performances. The 42-year-old veteran has talked of a growing need for the team to keep their expectations on track rather than just remaining verbal about it.

Aston Martin has succeeded in finding performance with some of their upgrades while failing to do so with the others on track for the most part this season. The team will now try to work out their shortfalls ahead of an important race in Budapest in an attempt to finish higher on the grid.
