Aston Martin is being the big surprise even for themselves. The team, which at this point last year could barely get past Williams, is the great alternative to Red Bull and they are second in the Constructors’ World Championship. and Fernando Alonso He has four podiums in five races…
Victory 33 appears on the horizon. In one that might be not too far away for the problems of Red Bull with the wind tunnel weather and because those from Silverstone are going to take ‘something’ already in Imola. A ‘secret weapon’, an evolution of the AMR23 that could well give Fernando another victory.
More knowing that it arrives also Monaco, where that weak point that the car has in terms of top speed matters rather little. And then Barcelona, where they also know they may have options.
“We get stronger”
If not, Zero worry in an Alonso who has blind faith in Aston Martin: “If we can’t keep up with the progress that our rivals are making, we will prepare for 2024 in the best possible way.”
“We are growing as a team, becoming stronger in those areas where perhaps we are not yet at the highest level,” he says in ‘Motorsportweek’.
But he couldn’t be happier: “We are in a position we did not expect. With a very fast car.”
“We didn’t expect it, so we just run calmly and without pressure, and if we can outperform our rivals in the race it will be good news”, says Fernando.
At the moment, Alonso has 75 points in the World Cup, his best mark since the way of scoring changed in 2010. Not even in his best year at Ferrari equaled what he is achieving at Aston Martin.
