“We can almost guarantee that winning will not be possible”: that’s how forceful he was Fernando Alonso in exclusive statements to ‘Jugones’ before Aston Martin let the world know your more than innovative AMR23 for the new season of Formula 1.
The green car has undergone a change from the 90% of the pieces and, hand in hand with a huge investment, a team with the best ‘gurus’ of the ‘Gran Circo’ and with Alonso, hopes to give the bell in 2023.
His case bears certain parallels with that of BrawnGP in 2009. The team of Ross Brownunnoticed on the podium during previous seasons, landed with an iron fist with the new regulations and thanks to his famous double diffuser he took the World Cup unexpectedly.
Well, that season in which Jenson Button ended up raising the crown, the British assured that it was “almost impossible to win”, words very similar to those of Fernando.
Of course, it was in the previous one of the British Grand Prix, the eighth appointment on the calendar, and not before the campaign started as the Asturian has done. Even so, social networks have not been slow to boil for it.
“I think it’s almost impossible to win tomorrow. I haven’t found the desired rhythm all weekend. After free practice I expected to be a little better, but sixth is much worse than I imagined. For what I see even the podium as very complicated“, Button explained before racing at Silverstone.
Alonso is aware of the great work he has done Aston Martin this winter and the great step forward that they will take in 2023 with respect to McLaren and Alpinebut talk about Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedesfor the moment, are big words… unless you go from bluff or humble. Will you know things and hence that “almost”?
