Alonso pleased with Aston Martin upgrade as Newey targets 'respectability'

Fernando Alonso said the performance of his Aston Martin was "much better" as the team debuted a huge upgrade package during Hungarian Grand Prix practice on Friday.

Aston Martin had approached F1's latest generation of rules, which kicked in at the start of this season, as a major opportunity to break into the sport's established 'big four' teams and challenge for titles.
