And from Aston Martin they celebrate that Alonso is considering continuing until then. he has said it Mike Krack in ‘Motorsport’. “It’s good to hear that, many years, and we would be happy with that. I think the main thing is his desire to be up front and his motivation, and I think he is young”, comments the head of the English team.
“To be honest, we don’t think much about it, we take it race by race, trying to do well at every grand prix, but we don’t think about it too much,” Krack said in these statements.
Despite the result in Spanish Grand Prix (seventh behind Lance Stroll), Alonso remains in third position in the drivers’ championship: he has 99 points, twelve more than Lewis Hamilton.
And in Canada they expect to hit the table. The most important improvements will come in this scenario and also in Silverstonethe next two races on the Grand Circus calendar.
Alonso issued a very clear warning. “In Canada we crush them…”, he released when asked if he was worried about Mercedes’ step forward. And it is that in Aston they are not worried.
