Fernando Alonso: The result pleasantly surprised me

      Just a week after the failure in Spa, Aston Martin unexpectedly had a great weekend in Hungary, starting from the third row and earning points with two cars.

      Fernando Alonso (5th): "The race went as we expected, and in the end, we maximized the car's potential this weekend. All the staff did a great job, and we're glad to have scored 16 points. The race was sometimes challenging, but everything worked out in the end.

      The result was pleasantly surprising. We need to analyze everything that happened in Spa and Budapest to understand why we were so much faster this weekend. I’ll take some rest during the holidays and look forward to the next race."

      Lance Stroll (7th): "It’s been a great day for the team. It’s nice to go on holiday in a good mood after earning 16 points in the race. But we need to understand why we were more competitive here than last week in Spa. We’ll see how things go in Zandvoort after the break — it’s a completely different circuit."
