Fernando Alonso: The new items work as they should.

      In Hungary, the Aston Martin team brought an updated car. Following the Friday practice sessions, Fernando Alonso, who recorded the 19th time in the second session and was nearly three seconds off the leader, stated that the car's behavior met expectations.

      Lance Stroll ended his work early in the first practice due to a failure of the rear left suspension and missed the second session as the team did not have enough time to assemble the car. Instead of the Canadian, team representative Pedro de la Rosa summarized the day's results.

      Fernando Alonso (19th): "Today the feeling from the car is better, and it behaved roughly as we expected after the updates were installed. This confirms that our calculations were correct, and the new parts are working as they should. That's a positive point.

      This is just the first step. We have new updates coming in the upcoming races. Right now, we are continuing to work with the new parts, and I think that through the car's setup, we will be able to unlock their potential by tomorrow."

      Pedro de la Rosa: "The first day with the updates was promising. Despite losing valuable time on the track due to the suspension failure on Lance's car, the initial results are encouraging.

      The data collected generally meets our expectations, which means we have a good foundation for further work. This is only the first step, but the start has been positive. Now we have a decent base to build on for the remaining days of the weekend."
