“Aston Martin is the cover of this season”. These are the statements of Karun Chandhok, who was a Formula 1 driver for teams like HRT and Lotus. And he highlights the role that he is having Fernando Alonso in this development.
Speaking to ‘Sky Sports’, he states that Alonso is as important as the car: “He has as much value as his car.”
“When you come to a Sunday, how many times do you say to yourself, lap after lap, vertex after vertex, that he is the pilot you want to beKarun wonders.
He is convinced that the green car must be watched. So much for his performance to have the two-time champion in his ranks: “The value he brings to Aston Martin is not just in the cabin, it’s the general presence he has: the direction of the set-up, the direction of development…”.
Everybody’s looking at Aston Martin
It has been the revelation team, the one that has progressed the most compared to last year and the one that could already surprise in the Bahrain Grand Prix, this weekend. Aston Martin captures all eyes.
Alonso was among the best. Especially in the long run, where Aston Martin showed that it takes care of the tires and is even above Ferrari (many degradation problems for the Maranello team).
Those from Silverstone set themselves the goal of leading the midfield, but now the rivals have changed. “We aim high”, has affirmed Pedro de la Rosa. From Sunday their true objectives will be seen.
