Fernando Alonso is happy. Is happy. Not only because the results what is he achievingwith Aston Martinhaving been on the podium in all races except in Baku and Barcelona, but because of the environment that has been found in his team. In his new team. In a team that he chose when they were penultimate in the F1 World Cup in 2022 and that now, with just eight tests disputed, it is third in the drivers’ championship and builders.
And very close to second place in both cases. Yeah, miracles exist in F1, and this one of those of Silverstone is possibly the largest that is remembered without there having been any regulatory change.
Having finished second in Canada, showinga pace similar to that of Verstappen At times, Alonso has acknowledged in ‘Sky Sports’ that it was, “in terms of rhythm, the most competitive race of the year.
But that is not what stood out the most from his statements. What stood out the most were the more than affectionate words that Alonso, a pilot who he doesn’t usually keep quiet about what he thinks, dedicated to Aston Martin.
“I can’t think of another time in my career in that I had so much confidence with a team… and with a project itself”, he affirms.
So much so that he does not rule out a green future: “Being a project in the medium and long term I don’t know if I’ll keep riding… but as long as I enjoy I’m not going to stop”.
“I want to win a race this year. The car is going in the right direction and there is more to come,” he insists.
The team has also located the big problem that the car has, and that prevents them from getting the most out of the car in each race.
