On Sunday, the leader of Alpine, szafnauertook it for granted that it would be “simple” to reach an agreement on Alonso. But he talks about money: “For every driver money is always a question,” he explains. And Alonso warned that he had to convince him of the project. According to Fernando, if both parties want, “in 10 minutes” they will fix it. It happened, but not to the expected team. tab through Aston-Martinfor me, something surprising.
How did they convince you? For the money Aston Martin doesn’t have it. its owner, Lawrence Take a WalkCanadian billionaire in the fashion sector, has a fortune of 2.9 billion dollars, according to Forbes. first purchased Force India (Racing Point) for almost 100 million, and then, 16.7% of Aston-Martin for 239 million. He said in February that he had “a plan to win in 5 years.” He laid the foundation for it based on the checkbook.
He signed one of the most important engineers, the head of aerodynamics at Red Bull, Dan Fallows. In 2020, Racing Point presented a car very similar to Mercedes, a clear copy. And in the middle of this year he brought solutions very similar to Red Bull on the track. those of Milton Keynes they complained and recalled that 7 of their engineers fled in the Aston Martin. Lawrence invested 295 million in the expansion of the factory, with two more buildings, a new wind tunnel and simulator in 2023.
If not Vettel, Lawrence knew the best fit was Alonso. However, the investment in new engineers has yet to translate into success and Aston Martin is now the penultimate team, away from Alpine. I have a hard time trusting this plan. What did they promise Alonso? It is necessary to see if the money can be competitiveness on the track. Alonso wants to win. It seems complicated. A winning team takes time. Let them ask questions Ferrari, in all the world’s media, and without winning the Drivers’ World Championship since 2007. It was a very risky bet. However, there is not much to risk. a seat on McLaren It also does not guarantee anything. And staying with Alpine wouldn’t have given him a champion car. There are no more gaps.
