Fernando Alonso He joins Aston Martin with a multi-year contract that will initially be for a pilot and could be modified if he decides to retire in the coming years. The objective of the team is for the two-time champion to continue with them either inside or outside the car.
Mike Krackboss of Aston Martin, has affirmed in ‘Planet F1’, that the conversations for those plans have already begun: “Yes, we have already had some very good conversations with him”.
“In my opinion, you can go beyond driving. Fernando joins us as a central part of the team and we have to see how he will develop”, comments the head of the British team.
Because at Aston Martin they see Alonso as a “fundamental piece”: “I think he can have an important role to play in the future of the team.”
Much has been said about the role that the Asturian could have. Perhaps as an ambassador and a very important figure in the F1 paddock. At Aston Martin they are aware that the goal of winning could be too hasty soon with Alonso in the car.
Dan Fallows He has talked about “progressing” to the middle zone. However, when talking about “victories” says that “can take years.” And then Alonso would no longer be in the team as a driver. Although yes with another role. That’s how they want it at the Silverstone factory.
At the moment it is time to think about the immediate future. And there Alonso will be a pilot with a multi-year contract. How far will the green car go? Will he beat Alpine in the midfield? Questions that will begin to have answers from the month of March.
