Even though Aston Martin started the season strongly, Schumacher doubts they wiꦓll be able to consis🌜tently compete at the front of the field because they’re a “young team”.

“I’m sure there will be races wherꦜe 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 🌄to𝔉 compete against an experienced Red Bull.

“That team has grown due to the battle with Mercedes . Thဣat pr🐼ocess is ahead for Aston Martin.

“What I noticed was that Alonso was very strong at the end o⛄f the r❀ace with less fuel. The potential is there.”
