Time to move on. Time to move on. Time to push the limits and the goals set at the beginning of the season. Yes, there’s Aston Martin. Fortunately, Fernando Alonso’s team is there. Because those from Silverstone are already among the best. Because what they wanted, back in the day of the presentation of the AMR23, it is already accomplished. Compliment with only three races played. Yes, it might seem that everything is done, but no. Nothing further.
Because a team that wants to win, that wants to be champion, cannot just be among the best. A team with the ambition of Aston Martin can not sin of conformism. You cannot stand by and wait. No. You can’t. You have to move on. And it doesn’t have to be among the best. It has to be the best. To be, you must first do one thing.
A logical thing. And what they have to do is win. Get your first win. Put Fernando Alonso, or Lance Stroll, not in a place on the podium but at the top of it. Yeah, the Asturian adds three thirds, But we must go further.
“And the first for when?”
Either be second or, above all, win. Score 25 points, and who knows if also the one for the fastest lap, for the same driver on a race day. It could well be in Monaco. Or even before with for example Miami. But Lawrence Stroll, big boss, you are already asking when.
“When will the first victory?” Mike Krack, Fernando Alonso’s boss, tells about what you already think about the great man behind the Aston Martin team.
“He still doesn’t think about the title, but he does think about winning. His is pure passion… but he mixes it in a balanced way with pragmatism”, insists the one from Luxembourg in words that are included in ‘I’mMotor’.
“He is satisfied… but you have to give him more”
And he continues: “He does not demand a date, he has only asked us about when we can win. He is satisfied with what we are doing and our progress, but he wants more. It’s the good thing about working with him. We know what he expects, and we have to give him more.”
At the moment, as Alonso and the rest of the Formula 1 grid know, Red Bull is ahead. However, who knows what can happen in a weekend…
In Jeddah, Verstappen struggled in qualifying. In Australia he was Sergio Pérez. While, the Aston Martin AMR23 seems a real rock.
