The new factory is the other great project of the team. The new wind tunnel is expected to be ready by 2024. Dan Fallowsone of the bosses of Aston Martin, has spoken of all the advantages in statements collected by ‘Motorsport’: “You have the possibility of manufacturing everything yourself, but you can also decide whether to buy or manufacture it, you can do things faster in general “.
“So if you can make things cheaper, it means you can make more. You can make one or two more upgrades than before in the same amount of time. From that point of view, I think it’s a big step forward“, Explain.
The works are in a final phase: “The last phases of the works, which is building three, which focuses on the experience of our employees, the wellness side, with the gym and those things, I think they are almost as important as the initial stages”.
“That’s what hooks people, knowing that we think of them, that we want them to work at a good levelbut we also want them to feel supported and to notice that they are part of a team in which they are really comfortable,” he says.
The construction of the new factory is expected to be the end point of the team’s development. Winning is the great objective and for this all possible means are needed. Alonso sees his new home in Formula 1 very close.
In the current factory there are “logistics problems”. explains it Mike Krack: “The remote locations that we have, where you have to pick up the phone or organize something to be able to see each other, is sometimes a natural barrier.”
“And the other problem is also the logistics, we have to carry things from left to right or from A to B all the time, so that will be very different, much easier. From that point of view, I agree to say what will it be a radical change for team dynamics and logistics,” he says.
