happiness and joy comes off in the team Aston Martin. With every race. With each podium of Fernando Alonso. With each feast and celebration, and with each statement. With every word. With each time that the mouth of a team member comes that ambition that the two-time Spanish champion likes so much. With every time Mike Krack makes it clear that he is, who want to look up.
With each time the head of the Silverstone team looks for something more. Because it’s what they want at Aston Martin. They want to win. They want to be the best. They want Alonso celebrate the 33rd to pay the fine that will fall for the celebration. Yes, they have already put the race in which it can happen. And yes, they continue with that calm optimism of always.
because they have not come up. Because despite already adding more points with just three races played than those they had in all of 2022, they still have their feet on the ground. Because even though the goal is more than accomplished, at not only lead the middle zone but to be the great threat of Red Bull, they continue with the policy that has led them to where they have arrived. And with which they want to go further.
“It is different to be confident than to be arrogant”says Mike Krack in words collected by ‘AutoMotor und Sport’.
“Even if they don’t do anything…”
And they know that there is someone ahead: “Yes. We take the fastest car as a reference.”
“We are behind them. Substantially. Even if they do nothing it would be a very big gap to reach them in a single year,” he insists.
But they look up, but also with someone who knows that if they don’t do what they should, those behind them can catch them at any moment.
“We look at Ferrari, Mercedes… and Alpine”
“We don’t go crazy. We constantly look at the distances with Ferrari, with Mercedes and with Alpine”, sentence.
At the moment, Aston Martin has three podiums in three races and Fernando Alonso knows that has succeeded leaving what in July was the fourth team in the World Cup for what at that time was ninth.
