An adventure that is about to begin. In fact it has already started, but not officially. It is what they form Aston Martin and Fernando Alonsothat next season they will run together with the aim of becoming the big surprise on the Formula 1 grid.
Much has been said about what the car will be like and the differences with the current one, which has only been able to be competitive in recent races. Dan Fallows, technical director of Aston Martin, has explained what is the strategy they are carrying out. And one word stands out above the rest: aggressiveness.
“What we’re trying to do next year is adopt a very aggressive development strategybut take advantage of the lessons of this year”, has affirmed one of the bosses of the British team.
“Clearly we started the year with a car that wasn’t where we wanted it to be and we’ve shown that development, particularly in the second half of the season, we’ve really shown the design principles that we’ve implemented and some of the philosophies that we’re embracing. are paying off and they will show dividends”, he details.
Mike Krackthe Aston boss, has praised the work that Fallows is doing: “You can clearly see the impact of people like Dan joining and others mixing with the people who are already here.”
“I think we have a lot of momentum and you feel that spirit when you come here. We have reason to believe that we can continue on that path, so all good, really,” Krack said.
“A very aggressive development strategy.” Those are the words about the future single-seater and about the homework that Aston Martin is doing with a view to the arrival of Alonso. A pilot who always demands the maximum from all the teams he attends.
to their 41 years he is still as competitive as when he started his career in the Grand Circus. He has always stated that his obsession is to win. And for this, a car that is precisely aggressive will be essential. All the ingredients are on the table. In March the answers will arrive.
