 | Fernando Alonso on Aston Martin debut: More than 100% satisfied, team has outstanding potential9-01-2023 |
Fernando Alonso shared his happiness after making his debut for Aston Martin.
Driver Alpin spent the morning hours of tire testing after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix for the British team he will be representing in 2023. Alonso took third place in the test protocol, and at the end of the day he became 12th.
Of course, you can not be overly confident, because next year everything will change. But the feeling in the garage with the guys, the potential of the team, the talent of the engineers is outstanding, and right now I`m very, very happy.
When I signed with Aston, I was 90 percent satisfied. When the team began to improve and finished the season on a high note, the happiness level rose to 100 percent. This morning I was 100 percent satisfied, now - more than 100, - said the two-time world champion.
Fernando talks about the 2022 Aston Martin car:
I was pleasantly surprised by everything, but next year the car will be completely different, so you can not be sure of anything. The next car will not be a continuation of the current one.
But the team had a strong weekend on our site, Sebastian [Vettel] qualified ahead of me, so I don`t think there was much difference between Aston and Alpin that weekend. Feelings are actually the same - the car is very competitive.
The car behaved well. In the first year with Alpin, we were worried about steering feedback, and we worked on it for five months. And I was pleasantly surprised that the sensations from the Aston system are normal, there is no need to change much.
