Unlike what could happen in Alpinewhere the own Fernando Alonso assured that they would look at his passport every year, in Aston Martin Nobody doubts the potential of the Asturian.
In fact, when asked what Fernando’s real position would be on this grid, Mike Krackhead of the Silverstone team, has no doubts.
“In a car identical to everyone else’s, in the front row“, he pointed out in statements to ‘Ace’. The ‘team manager’ values above all, and compared to Sebastian Vettelthe “hunger” of Alonso.
“‘Seb’ is a four-time world champion. But he’s a different person, has made the decision to stop when Fernando has made the decision to continue for a longer time, that changes the team’s motivation. There are dynamics in the team that revolve around that. We are grateful for what Sebastian has brought, he took the team to a different level; but the combination of the investment behind it and Fernando’s hunger will make us progress even more“, has explained.
About the Asturian, from Aston Martin they know the importance of being honest with him: “I don’t expect any problems with Fernando as long as we give him a fast car and are transparent.
“If you have someone with this level of motivation, we’ve already seen it with valentino rossi. If the motivation is there, plus the dedication, the physical and mental preparation, his talent and his experience, I don’t think he will have little time left”, he added.
But what does the AM23 have that the AMR22 did not have? Why do you have to believe?: “The same car, no. The same team, yes. All the F1 teams are at a very high level. In 2022 there were overweight cars, there were different concepts of aerodynamics.After a year with these rules it will be easier to take a proper direction. Though not everyone will be able to make the same progress.”
