However, Aston Martin remains unfazed by the relative difficulties at Barcelona and team owner Lawrence Stroll claims both drivers could be on the podium this weekend.
The Canadian Grand Prix is very special for the Aston Martin team as it serves as a home race for both owner Lawrence and Alonso’s teammate Lance Stroll.
Tense times for Alonso
The FIA released a document on Thursday confirming that Alonso’s car has been selected for further physical inspections ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix.
It is understood that the relevant controls were carried out immediately after the Spanish Grand Prix.
These checks are random and selected from the top ten cars overall to ensure compliance with the sport’s technical regulations.
Luckily for Alonso and Aston Martin, the checks went smoothly and all parts conformed to FIA regulations.
In the official FIA document, she confirmed that “these physical inspections have been carried out on the steering system (including the steering wheel) and all connected sensors, their wiring harness routing and connections to the SECU and other units.”
