Fernando Alonso’s tough run in the 2025 Formula 1 season continued as he recorded his second “Did Not Finish” (DNF) of the year at the Chinese Grand Prix.

This latest DNF adds to the challenges Alonso and his team have faced throughout the season, with reliability issues hindering their progress. Despite the setbacks, the Spanish driver remains optimistic and is looking ahead to upcoming races to turn things around.
As the season progresses, fans and analysts alike are left wondering whether Alonso’s luck will change, or if technical issues will continue to overshadow his undeniable skill on the track. The next race will be critical for both Alonso and his team as they seek redemption.
