Ferdinand Alonso has gone from ‘The Plan’ to ‘Plan B’, already baptized in social networks as ‘The mission’, as the new agent 007 of the British car. The Spaniard surprised everyone on the first day of the F1 summer break by announcing his signing for Aston Martin for 2023 and his departure from Alpine. He explained the reasons: they didn’t show him the confidence he needed, because for a few weeks they managed to publicly express their doubts about renewing Fernando because they didn’t want to lose their young talent , piastre. The simple comparison between a two-time champion who is at a high level, and a driver who has never competed in F1, is ugly to the man from Oviedo, who says he does not want to feel evaluated for his age years – year. . In fact, team boss Otmar Szafnauer has revealed that Alonso has been offered an extra year for another possible season after assessing his condition. “At Aston Martin they don’t look at my passport,” he said. And now, in an interview granted to DAZN F1 at the Dutch F1 GP, the Spaniard confirmed that “The Aston Martin project is more ambitious than Alpine”a complete dart to the ambitions of the French team, as if they did not satisfy the desire of the Spaniards to succeed.
“It’s because of the desire that I saw on the part of Aston Martin to get me and, maybe, those who are missing in Alpine. Or the signs of love that maybe I don’t have here. Alpine has Piastri, the young talent from the academy, and I am also going to a project that seems more ambitious than Alpine”he pointed out after McLaren announced the signing of Piastri and left Alpine without either of the two drivers he had doubted.
In addition, the pilot from Oviedo, at 41 years old, is very clear that he does not plan to leave F1 anytime soon: “I hope I will be in Formula 1 for at least two or three more years, I think I am 100%”. And then, his next challenge is clear: “And then, from there, a challenge I never hid was to try the Dakar again”.
The Spaniard also took the opportunity to clear his radio in Hamilton for his accident at the last Belgian GP: “These are the things you say and don’t think. My mistake in saying this. But well, at the same time, Formula 1 has to be understood. It’s all a bit of a show and we’ll try not to give them too much of a show when it’s controversial.”.
