Fernando Alonso announced, during the summer break, his signing for Aston Martin, something that caught by surprise. A very questionable decision at that time since Alpine was fighting with McLaren to be fourth in the constructors’ world championship while the Silverstone team, they barely managed to score in the races.
The driver returned to Formula 1 with Alpine and ‘The plan‘, that is, one year to adapt and 2022 to achieve victories and podiums. However, the reality is that the French team has spent the two seasons at a very similar level, fighting to be fourths or fifths in the team championship.
Now, after the lack of results, Fernando Alonso has started a new project that many fans have already dubbed as ‘The mission’Although it is hard to believe that he will achieve better results than with the French team.
Aston Martin has finished seventh in the world with 55 points to Alpine’s 173. The Silverstones they only scored in 15 races of the 22 disputed and almost always below ten points.
“winning is the goal that we all seek I was lucky to taste it in the past and have the tools to achieve World Cups,” Alonso explained at the time in a live stream made by the official Instagram account of Finetwork, one of his personal sponsors.
“The goal is to have a tool that allows us to fight to win. Hence the switch to Aston Martin. I am confident that we are going to do a good job,” Alonso said about his future at the Silverstone team.

Ferdinand filmed in Abu Dhabi with the car of his new team in the Formula 1 post-season tests. The Spaniard, after completing 97 laps, assured that he was very happy. “I am happily Surprised with everything”, he said in some statements collected by ‘As’.
The tests helped Fernando to gain more confidence for 2023: “Now I’m much more optimistic. When I signed for Aston Martin I was 90% happy. When they started to improve and finished the season well, I was 100% happy. Now, after the test, I am over 100%.”
