Fernando Alonso chose well. He chose well to stop listening to Alpine and his renewal offer thinking more about age than talent. And he chose well when signing by Aston Martin. It was in summer. It was in 2022 in which few or no one would have bet on a Silverstone team that It has turned out to be the right decision.
Because the British want to be world champions. And it is not only that they want to be, but that they go all out to achieve it. because they are determined. because by the head of Lawrence Stroll nothing happens other than to be the best.
They have already taken the first steps along the way. The first of a long path that includes the construction of what promises to be the most cutting-edge F1 factory with a top wind tunnel. Yeah, Aston Martin wants the best of the best.
They are working on it, as Dan Fallows, Silverstone guru, has said: “It’s something huge. we have been looking forward to move to the new factory… and now you see how everything is coming to fruition”.
We are looking forward to starting there. The wind tunnel will be finished by the end of 2024, and everything is progressing at a great pace. Then we will start the transition to it,” he says.
It is an essential part of Aston Martin’s plan: “We set ourselves an ambitious goal, and we were very aggressive. It’s gratifying to see that a big step has been taken from 2022.”
Now, for all: “If we look at ourselves, and We look at Red Bull which is the fastest car, there still a ways to go.”
“But we are delighted with this step, and Now it’s time to work to give the next one”sentence.
At the moment, they are second in the Constructors’ World Championship and Fernando Alonso is third after max verstappen and Sergio Pérez in the pilots.
