no one in Formula 1not even within Aston MartinI could imagine the Silverstone team completing a meteoric evolution from 2022 to 2023 that has brought three podium finishes in the first three races to Fernando Alonso.
In fact, as stated by the two-time F1 world champion in statements collected by ‘RacingNews365.com’, the current situation is what was expected for 2024.
“I expected the 23rd to be a season of learning, and in 24 maybe challenge the Ferrari and Mercedes“, has expressed the Asturian.
At this point, Alonso is aware that the accelerator foot cannot be lifted despite the “optimism” that is exuded in the green team.
“But we challenged them in Bahrain, in the first race. So obviously now everything looks more optimistic. But now we have to comply“, he stated.
For this reason, the European tour will be key to the future of Aston Martin: “We will see very soon, from Baku, Imola, Barcelonathe [otros] Teams will start to bring improvements to their cars, and we must also be a leading team in that sense, on the track, but also off the track.”
“We need to learn a lot of things throughout this season to be a contender in 24with luck”, has settled a Fernando Alonso who is aware that self-demand is the key to success.
