Minardi, Renault, McLaren, return to Enstone, Ferrari, return to Woking, retirement, return to Formula 1 with Alpine, signing for Aston Martin at over 40… few people in the “Grand Circus” can speak with authority and knowledge of Fernando Alonso.
The Asturian has been the protagonist these days for his words on the third F1 World Cup or its future at the Dakarbut in statements to ‘Motorsport’ he addressed another interesting topic.
What sets Aston Martin apart from other teams you have worked for? Does one team change a lot compared to another? Firstly, Alonso is clear that most of the responsibility lies with the driver.
“I think it changes more the way we are in life. I wasn’t the same when I was 20 and I was at Renault. I didn’t see things the same way when I was 30 years old and I was at Ferrari. And I don’t see things the same way when I was 30 years old and I was at Ferrari. I don’t see things the same way now when I was. am at Aston Martin, I think you are more mature. you are more aware of things“, he explained.
Regarding his current team, he highlights the determination and leadership that exists at Silverstone: “I think Aston Martin is the most determined team I have ever worked for in my career. The commitment of this team, the vision of our leader, Lawrence Stroll, This is something I’ve never seen beforeand the results Aston Martin has achieved in its three years of existence are probably also unprecedented, with eight podiums last year. And now also the signing of Adrian Newey”.
“So I would say all the teams are very similar, but Aston Martin is probably, as we said before, the team of the future because they do certain things and they have several partners around that. I haven’t seen any other team in my entire career.“, added the double champion.
