Alonso Braces for Media Spotlight Amid Aston Martin's Troubled Campaign

The spotlight will be firmly on two-time world champion Fernando Alonso when he meets with journalists at this weekend's Chinese Grand Prix, with Aston Martin's struggle to find form early in the 2026 campaign dominating the conversation. Following a troubling beginning to the season, Alonso has already set the bar low for what the team can accomplish moving forward, signaling that patience and gradual improvement may be necessary as the Silverstone-based outfit works to turn around their fortunes. The veteran driver will likely face tough questions about the nature of the team's difficulties and his assessment of what lies ahead for the remainder of the season.
