Fernando Alonso once again voiced strong criticism of the 2026 Formula 1 cars during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend. The Aston Martin driver said racing with these cars in Monaco is extremely challenging for him.
Alonso stated that the current generation of cars are the worst he has driven in Monaco. The experienced driver explained that the way energy is harvested and used changes the car's behavior, leading to inconsistency when entering corners.
Criticism of the Hybrid System
The Spanish driver said that the car's character changes depending on the battery charge level during braking and throttle-off moments, which sometimes makes the engine braking feel absent. According to Alonso, this makes driving more unpredictable, especially on a sensitive track like Monaco.
Alonso openly argued that the current regulations have altered the nature of racing and that hybrid cars should not be racing. This statement is the latest in a series of criticisms he has directed at modern F1 cars throughout the season.
Ongoing Criticism Throughout the Season
Alonso has repeatedly claimed this season that the current setup has moved away from the true racing experience. At the previous race in Canada, he argued that energy management had become more decisive than the battle between drivers.
Alonso also had a difficult Friday in Monaco, finishing both practice sessions in 20th place. His contact with the barriers at the Nouvelle Chicane approach the same day showed how challenging his weekend started.
A Tough Day for Aston Martin
Alonso highlighted ongoing grip issues and inconsistent behavior under braking throughout the day. The experienced driver also mentioned that the car suffers from a chronic front-end sliding problem.
Monaco demands more precision than ever from drivers due to its narrow layout and unforgiving racing line. Alonso's remarks have once again brought attention to why the new generation of hybrid cars is controversial on this track.
