Fernando Alonso retired from the Canadian Grand Prix on lap 23 due to severe back pain caused by Aston Martin's increasingly reclined cockpit seating position, which was modified to lower the car's center of gravity. The team attempted to adjust the seat between Saturday and Sunday but determined the issue stems from the overall cockpit design rather than a defective seat unit, with Aston Martin planning fixes ahead of next weekend's Monaco race.
