During the last five races and despite the poor performances that can be obtained from the AMR24, Fernando Alonso make magic with Aston Martin.
For context, the Asturian has added 17 points in the last five games while his teammate, Lance’s Walkleft his record zero.
Regarding this aspect, they asked Mike Krackboss of Aston Martin, who assured that the reason for the difference between the two drivers was the Canadian’s lack of confidence.
“I think what he lacks is confidence in the car. You know what happens with Lance, if we give him a performance car he will be very, very good. Do you remember Zandvoort? He had a crazy lap in Q2, but he only does it when the car gives him confidence,” he explained in statements to ‘Motorsport’.
“If you don’t have it and you have to ride close to the walls [como en Bakú o Singapur]so it’s much more complicated for him. So yes, in general, I would say then It’s up to us to give you a car that gives you the confidence you need. to perform at their best level,” added the Aston Martin boss.
Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll renewed their contracts with Aston Martin this season, so they will at least be together in the team until 2026year during which the new regulations will be implemented.
