Alonso, the veteran Formula 1 driver, concedes that his dreams of achieving his 33rd career victory this year are slowly fading away. Despite high expectations early in the season, Aston Martin’s competitiveness has taken a hit in recent grands prix, with car upgrades having unforeseen consequences on the team’s performance.
Team boss Mike Krack acknowledged the complexity of car development, stating that changes can lead to side effects that influence the car’s overall performance. Unfortunately, these adjustments have disrupted Aston Martin‘s progress and made it difficult for Alonso to secure the elusive win.
At the beginning of the 2023 season, Alonso’s potential 33rd win generated much excitement, but as the season progresses, the likelihood of that victory has diminished. Despite coming close in Monaco and Canada, Alonso recognizes the dominance of Red Bull and the significant challenge that lies ahead.
Remaining optimistic, Fernando expresses his unwavering belief in the team’s capabilities and vows to give his best effort every weekend, even in the face of tough odds. While a win in 2023 may be improbable, he remains committed to the team’s pursuit of success and envisions future victories.
Mike Krack echoes Alonso’s determination, emphasizing the team’s relentless dedication to making Alonso’s 33rd win a reality. However, both Fernando and Krack acknowledge the challenges they face and do not foresee the achievement coming to fruition this year.
As for Fernando’s teammate Lance Stroll, Krack dismisses any notion that Stroll’s presence has hindered the team’s progress. Despite the driver’s challenges and unfortunate events, the team stands united, understanding the true situation within their ranks.
While his hopes for victory in 2023 may be fading, the determination and spirit of Aston Martin remain unwavering.
