The Spanish Fernando Alonso<\/strong> and his team, Aston Martin<\/strong>have not had enough preseason to adjust the vibration problems of the Honda power unit in the chassis designed by Adrian Newey<\/strong>. This has been seen in free practice for the Australian GP, \u200b\u200bthe debut of the F1 World Championship.<\/p>\n The Australian Oscar Piastri<\/strong>of McLaren<\/strong>has dominated the official training sessions with a best time of 1:19.729, beating the Mercedes of Kimi Antonelli (+214) and George Russell (+320) on the Albert Park track.<\/p>\n Fernando Alonso was barely able to test a few laps with his limited Aston Martin<\/strong>which is not yet ready to compete with full guarantees -20th at 4.933- while the Mexican Sergio P\u00e9rez was barely able to run a couple of laps with his Cadillac, being the only one who could not record times on the track.<\/p>\n Already 15 minutes after starting training, he would enter the court Fernando Alonso’s Aston Martin<\/strong>one of the main negative notes of this start of the season, given the problems in the power unit that Honda itself highlighted shortly before starting the first session.<\/p>\n With this, the Spaniard dedicated himself to testing the car on the Melbourne circuit, limited by the well-known vibrations that affect the British team’s car, while Antonelli, Piastri and Russell continued to set the best times as the minutes passed. The other Spaniard, Carlos Sainz<\/strong>also had problems finishing 17th at 2.5 seconds.<\/p>\n Piastri kept his eye on the Mercedes, unlike his teammate and current champion, Lando Norris<\/strong>which did not go from seventh place by more than one second (+1.065).<\/p>\n For their part, the Ferrari<\/strong> -who had dominated in the first session- remained in second place, with the British Lewis Hamilton<\/strong> posting the fourth best time (+321) and the Monegasque Charles Leclerc the fifth (+562).<\/p>\n The Dutch Max Verstappen<\/strong> (Red Bull) went from less to more in a busy training session in which he reached the sixth time (+637), surpassing Norris himself, as well as the Racing Bulls of the British of Swedish origin Arvid Lindbland (+1,193) and the Red Bull of the Frenchman Isack Hadjar (+1,211).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Spanish Fernando Alonso and his team, Aston Martinhave not had enough preseason to adjust<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":491,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-490","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=490"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Piastri beats Mercedes<\/h2>\n
