Fernando Alonso: Finishes full race

Alonso finished 18th in the Japanese Grand Prix F1 race at Suzuka Circuit on Sunday.

Analysis:

Alonso got a late start to the weekend after missing FP1 due to the birth of his child. On the track, things were largely the same as Alonso was never able to muster strong pace due to the poor state of his Aston Martin. The positive takeaway was that he was able to finish a complete race for the first time this season, giving the team something to build on heading into a long break before the Miami Grand Prix.
