‘Bomb’ Aston Martin: They reveal the tracks where Alonso’s 33 could come

Fernando Alonso this Sunday added his third podium in the first three races of F1 World Cup 2023. Full of drawers for the Spaniard in his only three careers together Aston Martina beginning desired by Ferdinand as unexpected just a few months ago, because I didn’t think there would be such a competitive car so soon. His car was the second best car in the first two rounds, and in Australia, the characteristics of the circuit favored Mercedes and Ferrari to fight with more weapons against his green car. But his car continues to be in contention for a third straight race, on a different track, and that This is nothing but confirmation of the basis of this car allows you to think big in ignorance of the evolution of his car and his rivals throughout the year.

It is logical that after three podiums, everyone is wondering the same thing. Where will victory number 33 come from in Fernando Alonso’s career? answered that question Aston Martin boss Mike Krackin a statement on ‘DAZN F1’.

“I think there are some clues where the combination of this driver with this car could be more mysterious. Monaco, Barcelona…” That is, it confirms the clues that MD already indicated a few weeks ago as the keys so that Alonso can fight with bigger weapons against his opponents. And following this pattern, a good option could also be Hungary, a magical place for the Asturian where he achieved his first F1 victory in 2003 with Renault.

Strongest and smallest points

“We have our shortcomings on the long straight, it’s no secret. We have seen it and we have to work on it. On tracks where it doesn’t count so much is where we can be or have more confidence, but being fast in these races isn’t everything. You have to be quick, you have to finish, make no mistakes and then see what the result is,” he commented.

The Aston Martin is a car with a great rear end, with excellent traction, excellent braking stability and good speed in slow corners. In Jeddah he was competitive in the fast corner. But its rivals are faster in the straight and the green car should improve in a turn, because one of its greatest virtues is the perfect wheel management, with less degradation.

That base car allowed Alonso to add three podiums out of a possible three. But now he likes it more. When asked about his next goal, he still doesn’t want to talk about victories: “I suppose finishing a little higher on the podium, because three third places… let’s see if we can get the second position.” But he wants 33.

The race of evolution: “We will not sit idly by”

The base car is very good, but to keep aiming for podiums throughout the course, they must not stand still. They must evolve the car.

To continue climbing the drawer and that Alonso can aim to achieve his 33rd victory in F1, it will be important that Aston Martin takes advantage of the greater room for improvement that its car has as it is a new car and not an evolution of last year’s concept their opponents are like single-seaters. You can also take advantage of the longer time allowed in the wind tunnel that the team has compared to Red Bull and other rivals.. Aston Martin must thrive in its quest to close the gap that now separates it from Red Bull.

“I think the car is good. We’ve been competitive in all three races, so I think we can confirm that. Now it’s a development race with other teams, who can bring improvements and when. It’s hard to keep up with the big players. We are not fighting against small teams, we are fighting against very big teams, very experienced and with big infrastructure. But we will fight. We are a team full of dedicated people, who are also great. Let’s not cross arms.”
