Alonso fears more pain in China with struggling Aston Martin

Silverstone-based Aston Martin endured a horror start after serious issues with their Honda power unit and a lack of spare parts. Two-time world champion Alonso and teammate Lance Stroll had to endure extreme vibration in the chassis caused by the power unit, which was feared could cause the drivers permanent nerve damage. "The situation unfortunately didn't change within four or five days since Melbourne, so it will be a difficult weekend," Alonso told reporters at the Shanghai International Circuit.
