Fernando Alonso has made the soufflé rise again by Aston Martin. The Asturian returned to get on the podium in Miami, despite the fact that after the Free Practice, especially after the third, things did not look exactly good for those from Silverstone.
But the two-time champion knew and was able to reverse the situation. First, finding the problems who had the AMR23 at the Florida track. Then, remedying them together with the team. And finally to give a perfect lap in Q3 which helped him to be second. From there, straight to the podium.
And that makes both he and Aston Martin set their sights beyond what has been obtained. Because there are four drawers, with four third parties… and now is when the good can come.
This is how Mike Krack, Alonso’s boss in the British team, talks about it: “We hope to continue like this… or even better”.
“There are four podiums in five races. It’s a good record. It was very encouraging. In qualifying we were ahead due to some incidents, but in the race we had the rhythm”, Krack says.
Yes, he did, so much so that he even allowed himself to be able to cast an eye to the screens to see How was Lance Stroll doing? and to send you a message of encouragement.
In addition, Krack launches a warning so as not to err on the side of confidence: “It will be difficult to maintain this position. At the moment we have not had Lots of improvements on the car.”
