just a few days ago laurent rossi CEO of Alpine brought to the fore the words of Esteban Ocon stating that he did “98% of the work” with Fernando Alonso as a partner for throw another ‘dart’ at the two-time champion of the world of Formula 1who, far from answering, dedicated some nice words to the old Renault.
While the French team has not had good words for the Asturian since his departure, in Aston Martin everything is flattery and compliments to his new pilot.
In an interview on ‘RacingNews365’, Mike Krack head of the Silverstone team, has stated that Alonso is much more pilot than his record reflects -that I would like to have some Alpine pilot-.
“There’s more than that. If you look at the cars he’s driven, they’re not cars that won the previous years, so I think it’s unfair to judge by wins and podiums“, has explained.
Even so, in terms of competitiveness inside the garage, Fernando is usually a winner: “When you look at what he has done in all the teams he has driven for, he is usually the faster of the two drivers“.
This year, for example, Esteban Ocon Yes, he has surpassed Alonso in the World Cup, but the data is somewhat biased due to the ongoing reliability issues that the man from Oviedo has suffered and that, probably, if he had not had them, he would have added about 60 more points.
That’s when the boss Aston Martin take the opportunity to throw a ‘dart’ at Alpine: “The points are something that is also based on reliability.”
“But we are fascinated by your commitment and desire to win. Trying to the maximum with his level of experience is rarely seen”, Krack affects Alonso, of whom do not fear that bad reputation that he keeps in the paddock of Formula 1.
