The Australian Grand Prix was a landmark occasion for Aston Martin as it was the first time in the brand’s Formula 1 history that the team have placed two cars inside the top four.

More impressively, it was Fernando Alonso’s third consecutive third-place podium, continuing his 100% record in that position in 2023 and providing further confirmation that Aston Martin have made a genuine leap forward this season after finishing seventh last year.
