Fernando Alonso<\/a>\u2019s frustration boiled to the surface during the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, after onboard footage emerged of the F1 champion reacting furiously during the race. <\/b><\/p>\n

\nAston Martin enjoyed their best qualifying session<\/a><\/b> of the season in Imola, with both Alonso and Lance Stroll making it into Q3 ahead of both Ferraris and Kimi Antonelli. <\/p>\n

\nImola offered Alonso his best chance of a points finish so far this year and started the race in P5, but a top 10 finish was not meant to be for the Spaniard. <\/p>\n

\nAs the race progressed, Aston Martin\u2019s pace diminished and Alonso was left stuck behind the Red Bull of Yuki Tsunoda<\/a> following the safety car restart, who held the last points paying position in P10. <\/p>\n

\nHowever, when the two-time world champion failed to overtake Tsunoda at the Tosa hairpin on the final lap, Alonso punched his head with both hands in frustration a couple of times and had to correct his car coming out of the corner, as the Aston Martin once again failed to produce any pace. <\/p>\n

\nThe video had been uploaded to X but has since been removed. <\/p>\n

Alonso\u2019s frustration with Aston Martin mounts<\/p>\n

\nAlonso finished the Emilia-Romagna GP in P11<\/a><\/b>, one position away from his first points finish of the season and remains stuck near the bottom of the drivers’ standings in P17 with zero points. <\/p>\n

\nThe 43-year-old also had a meltdown over team radio at another point of the race, where he cried: \u201cYeah it\u2019s going to be torture, it\u2019s a wreck. I\u2019m the unluckiest driver in the **** world!\u201d <\/p>\n

\nAston Martin\u2019s pace has been a constant issue throughout the 2025 season, alongside reliability, with Alonso retiring from the Chinese GP<\/a><\/b> following a brake failure. <\/p>\n

\nAlonso also suffered brake issues in Imola<\/a><\/b> when his front left tyre started to spit out flames after his pit stop. It was confirmed that the champion\u2019s brakes were on fire, but they soon extinguished themselves and Alonso managed to complete the race without further issue. <\/p>\n

\nNevertheless, the 2026 season and rule re-set<\/a><\/b> could not come quick enough for Alonso, who has been forced to endure his worst start to a season since 2017 with McLaren. <\/p>\n
