Perhaps, since it landed in McLaren in 2007 after having been crowned two-time world champion at the hands of Renault in 2005 and 2006, Fernando Alonso began to make some enemies in the paddock of Formula 1.
The man from Oviedo had dethroned the then king of the ‘Great Circus’, Michael Schumacherand everyone wanted to beat him, even within the British team itself with the pro faction Lewis Hamilton.
Drivers, team leaders, members of the FIA… the Spaniard has had several fights in his extensive and long career in F1, but what is unquestionable is his intensity when it comes to working and the dedication he puts in to obtain the maximum performance of the car and of itself.
They have asked about it Mike KrackAston Martin boss, in an interview on ‘RacingNews365’: Is there fear in the Silverstone team for Alonso’s character?
“Obviously, there’s a reputation, but I try to put that aside. I think we have to have a fresh approach, maybe I am different from other team managers and maybe he is now a different driver“Krack explained.
“I’d be surprised if we had problems”adds to later praise the sense of “commitment” that leads Fernando to give and ask for 100%.
“What fascinates us is that commitment and that desire to win. To try your hardest, at your level of experience, it’s very unusual“Added the Aston Martin boss.
After I seen it in Alpinein the green team they are clear that they must satisfy Alonso with a fast car as well as reliable, and the F1 guru and former head of aerodynamics at Red Bull, is already working on it, Dan Fallows. There was talk of a “aggressive strategy” for 2023… and from the paddock of Formula 1 already distilled worry about the ace they may have up their sleeve.
