Even though Aston Martin started the season strongly, Schumacher doubts they will be able to consistently compete at the front o🎐f the field because they’re a “young team”.

“🎉I’m sure🎶 there will be races where they can’t get all the potential out of the tyres,” he added. “We must not forget that it is still a relatively young team.

“In addition, even Alonso cannot do everything with that car. They have to compete agaཧinst an experienced𓄧 Red Bull.

“That team has grown due to t⛄he batt🎃le with Mercedes . That process is ahead for Aston Martin.

“What I noticed was that Alonso was ཧvery strong at the end of the race with less fuel. The potential is there.”
