Alonso assesses Aston Martin's chances in China amid continuous power unit issues

The Silverstone-based team had a difficult first race in Melbourne, largely due to the issues with the Honda power unit.

This weekend, the F1 grid will contest the Chinese Grand Prix. Alonso said he does not expect changes to be introduced for the next race.

Speaking to GPblog, among others, the two-time world champion explained: "Not different, not different for sure.

He continued: "But we cannot give up. We need to keep on trying different solutions, especially on the chassis, and try to understand and get better in terms of the package in general.

Together with Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon, the Aston Martin driver will feature in the first press conference group on Thursday.
