One of the ‘big shots’ of Aston Martin He has had the opportunity to reflect on the potential that the team has after the first winter tests, where a name of his own has stood out, that of Fernando Alonso.
Mike Krack, Team Leader, thinks that the bet made by the Asturian pilot signing for the brand of Silverstone it was a correct decision.
In the pre-season test in Bahrainthe two-time world champion had very positive feelings that were noticeable inside the garage and throughout the grid, where they already have the Spaniard in their sights.
For this reason, the director of the green team acknowledges that he can only define Fernando Alonso with the word “wow.”
At the same time, the boss has highlighted that the man from Oviedo has “pressured” them to get the maximum possible potential from the AMR-23, and the result is effective with a very competitive race pace.
“Honestly, everything has been positive as for comments, as for how he’s putting pressure on us, how he’s putting pressure on himself, and also because of the pace he’s offeringso we’re very happy,” he said on ‘The Race’.
The Luxembourgish director also hinted that the tests that Fernando Alonso did on the track were not exclusively for the first race of the year.
“The positive thing was that Fernando tried several things, basically to fill your toolbox. So he tried things that maybe he said weren’t right at the time, but it was something he wanted to have information about because maybe in Melbourne, or at another track, he might need it,” he concluded.
