Fernando Alonso analyzes Aston Martin's performance after the pre-season testing

Fernando Alonso stated that the AMR24 was a 'step up' from the previous year's car after an error-free pre-season testing in Bahrain.

As per RacingNews365, the Aston Martin driver said:

“The car is a step forward, the car feels better. [There is] more performance, so we’re happy with the data and happy with the feeling. I think everyone made a step forward this year, we see the concepts of the car and the ideas are more of the same for everybody. So I think it’s going to be tight and very intense.”

While also addressing the gap to Red Bull and Max Verstappen, Alonso added (via Autosport):

“I don't have a crystal ball to know what the others are doing. I think Max is the world champion and Red Bull is dominating the sport. Also, the concept that they presented this year, it's also a surprise.

“At the moment, we just have to watch them and see how they perform. I think 19 drivers in the paddock now will think that [they] will not win the championship. It happens 99% of the time in your career. This is a brutal sport.”
