Fernando Alonso and Aston Martin Arrived at F1 Italian GP this weekend as expected. They want to see how the new pack of evolutions they picked up Zandvoort, where the car advanced and Fernando Alonso achieved his 7th podium of the season after 4 races where the car stopped before the evolution of McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari. In Zandvoort, the podium came in very special conditions and the rain made it impossible to get all the data the team wanted. And now, on Monza, on a completely different track, full of straights, the question is to see how that new floor works, with apparently some new parts to perfect that new package. however, Mike Krack, Aston Martin Team PrincipalAt a press conference, he looked hopeful when asked by MD if his car could be competitive on this circuit, which has so many straights.
“Can Aston Martin be competitive here on such a high-speed circuit or is the team more focused on Singapore than Monza?” MD asked the Silverstone team boss. Mike Krack is clear.
“If you want to play a role in the championship you have to be competitive at all types of circuits. It’s important that at circuits like Monza, or this year it will be like Las Vegas, that you do your homework. I think we did our homework for Monza and we need to do them for Singapore as well. But there is no reason to think that we will be more or less competitive at one or the other circuit.”he commented, making it clear that they are not putting all their eyes on one of what is their best option to win, the next appointment in Singapore.
“Can I be here?”asked this medium. “I accept it…”, he answered with a smile.
Monza could be a good track for Aston Martin
Krack did not remove Fernando Alonso’s box options at the Italian F1 GP this weekend, although the competition will be very tough and parity in the chasing group, very large, with a Ferrari also joining the party after missing out on Zandvoort. AND Seeing how the car performs on similar tracks, there’s no reason to do this. Despite the fact that rival cars have also improved since then, on similar tracks such as Canada or Azerbaijan, the car is in the match. Alonso was 4th in Baku and 2nd in Canada with great speed especially in Montreal.
On more traditional layouts, with long straights but fast or medium speed corners, the car is not as competitive due to its higher air resistance, something the team is trying to correct. But on tracks with straight line braking and plenty of traction, two of Aston Martin’s strengths, and above all, where you can go with a low-load spoiler, the car behaved very well. This could happen again at Monza, although it will be the track that will prove or disprove the Aston Martin boss’ confidence.
