Aston Martin lives on celebration to celebration. The reason, of course, is to celebrate the great work they have done. The enormous effort carried out in the factory so that in one winter they have gone from being the seventh team to the second. So that, in months, they have gone from fighting not to fall in Q1 to achieving three podiums in three races with Fernando Alonso. The last one, in Australia.
In a test with chaos as the main protagonist. red flags, relaunched, accidents, radios… and sanctions. And Fernando, among all, pulling seniority and experience to finish third. To make Hamilton nervous and to show that the Aston Martin, apart from being fast, it is a real rock.
So yes. After a job well done, it was time for the appropriate celebration. After Alonso’s effusiveness with their mechanics, in the box they took out Fernando’s giant ‘heads’ and Lance Stroll for a few beers.
Yes, there was the ‘viral mechanic’ of the team. The one who lives every moment of Fernando on the track with great passion and who is becoming more than famous in the world of Formula 1.
Now it’s time to keep working until the next race. It will be in Azerbaijanand still remains to be seen to the Aston Martin in Baku.
We will see if, at that moment, they have been able to find the key that makes them not be one of the worst in Top speed with DRS open. Seeing the great straight line that the track has… it would be a good thing.
