Aston Martin doesn't want to let go of Fernando Alonso and, in view of his possible farewell in 2025, tries to secure the Spaniard for the future too. The Silverstone team, fresh from a rather particular start to the season, intends to extend the contract of its Spanish driver, in expires in 2024. To do this, however, we will need to work on the car and convince Fernando that the Aston project he can really continue to grow to start fighting concretely for victory. “I don't think it's a secret to say that our will is to continue with him. It's important – said the team principal Aston Martin mike krack – offer him an important package to make him understand that he can believe in this project and the team”.
Alonso and his possible renewal at Aston Martin: Krack's words
Aston Martin's start to the season was quite particular. The Bahrain race showed the first difficulties of the AMR24 which began to show the first signs of recovery in Jeddah. Alonso, after an excellent qualifying, finished fifth in the standings, while Stroll was forced to retire. The two-time world champion showed that the updates brought to the car worked, but they certainly cannot be considered enough, even if in Aston certainly has no shortage of enthusiasm. “We are quite positive for the next races. Already in Arabia – continues Krack – we have made some small improvements and many more will arrive in the coming weeks. We want to continue developing this car and don't wait too long. In fact, we will have updates in all the next races."
“We learned a lot from last season”
The objective is to try to obtain Alonso's renewal, although it is right not to forget that Aston Martin is a very young team. In this respect, 2023 was fundamental to understand the mistakes made and to avoid in view of this new season: “What we learned last season was really very, very important. We have changed things in the way we proceed so that we can always be 100% ready. We are very confident."
