Fernando Alonso reveals latest Aston Martin calamity: 'The car didn't know where it was'

Fernando Alonso expressed frustration with Aston Martin's performance during the Singapore Grand Prix, where he finished in 16th place. Despite a promising eighth place in Malaysia, Alonso faced significant issues with his car's power and deployment, leading him to request a turbocharger replacement, which was deemed unnecessary by Honda's chief engineer.

After the race, Alonso highlighted that the car's deployment was inconsistent, particularly during virtual safety car periods, causing him to lose valuable time. He acknowledged that the problems seemed specific to the Singapore circuit and stressed the need for Aston Martin to address these issues ahead of upcoming races in Mexico and Las Vegas.
