Fernando Alonso is 43 years old and he has been in Formula 1 for over two decades. And there is something he has learned over the years: to value his team more and more. Because when you’re young, it says, “We don’t know what everyone does and their importance”: “With experience we discover it.”
Here is what he said in comments reported by ‘Motorsport’: “You realize the importance of the team over timewhen you are 22 you know you have the team behind you, but you don’t know what everyone does and its importance, and with experience you discover personal stories, everyone has their own story of improvement and how I got there…”.
“In Aston Martin We are 950 people for two cars, something impressive,” says the Spanish driver, double Formula 1 champion.
And each of these people is essential to the functioning of the team: “Each of them is as important as me, whose head is visible on Sunday when the television comes on, but I can’t do the job if every screw on the car isn’t 100 percent, and you realize that over time.”
This also affects the signature of Adrien Newey as a great opportunity for him: “Now we have signed Adrian for 2025, and you realize that surrounding yourself with the best team is essential to succeed, these are things that evolve, and teamwork is essential.” Because Newey is one of the most important engineers in the history of the Grand Cirque.
