Fernando Alonso He has reason to be excited. Many. Because all that comes out of Aston Martin are optimistic messages. They believe in the team that they will create a much more competitive car than this season and that both the Asturian and Lance Stroll they may be leading the middle zone.
Dan Fallows, one of the renowned signings that the team has made this course along with Alonso’s, is quite optimistic. And he details step by step how the car will change: “We are sure that we will do a considerable progress with the AMR23 model”.
“It’s not just about the form, it’s also about the weight or torsional stiffness. All of this is to guarantee that our pilots get a better tool”, he explains in statements to ‘Speedweek’.
Although the victories, he says, will have to wait because “that takes years”: “We are extremely ambitious, but there is a big difference between sitting in the middle of the grid and being able to comment on the victories.”
“We want to move forward, but we realize that this will take time. First we have to put all the pieces of the puzzle in their right place,” says Fallows.
Like Red Bull?
Fallows arrives from Red Bull and believes there are parallels: “What is happening at Aston Martin is a bit reminiscent of the early years of Red Bull Racing”.
“With more financial resources came more technical possibilities, it was enriching to follow this path…”, says the one who will be Alonso’s new teammate starting next year.
