> Fernando Alonso, driving for Aston Martin at the 2024 Italian Grand Prix, started from grid position 11 and maintained that position to finish 11th, completing all 53 laps but scoring no points.

Fernando Alonso's 2024 Italian Grand Prix campaign at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza saw the Spanish driver finish in the same position he started, securing 11th place for Aston Martin. Commencing from grid position 11, Alonso navigated the high-speed circuit, completing all 53 scheduled laps with a recorded total time of "1:15:49.222". This result positioned him just outside the top ten, thereby yielding zero points for the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team. The race, round 16 of the 2024 season, presented a challenge for the British constructor to break into the points-paying positions. His teammate, Lance Stroll, encountered further difficulties, finishing in 19th position and classified as "+1 Lap" down, highlighting a collective struggle for the team at this particular circuit, a situation that can be observed in various team performances across seasons, such as [Lance Stroll at the 2018 Spanish Grand Prix](/results/2018-barcelona-lance-stroll).

Despite the non-points finish, Alonso's performance included a notable fastest lap. On lap 46, he registered a time of "1:22.944", which was the 7th quickest lap among all competitors, demonstrating the underlying pace of the AMR24. This metric indicates that the car, under specific conditions, possessed a strong turn of pace, even if it couldn't be sustained to gain track position throughout the entire Grand Prix within the [FIA — F1 World Championship](https://www.fia.com/events/fia-formula-one-world-championship) framework. Alonso's consistent driving saw him maintain a "Finished" status, avoiding the mechanical issues or incidents that can often plague a race at Monza. For a driver with a career spanning decades, including his participation at the [Fernando Alonso at the 2018 Spanish Grand Prix](/results/2018-barcelona-fernando-alonso), every competitive lap is a testament to enduring skill and race craft. The detailed performance metrics for all drivers and teams are meticulously tracked by various data sources, including the [Jolpica/Ergast — 2026 season data](https://api.jolpi.ca/ergast/f1/2026.json) which provides historical race results and statistics, offering insights into the evolving dynamics of [Wikipedia: Formula One](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_One).
