The Aston Martin F1 project was 'just a bet' for Alonso when the 41-year-old decided to leave Alpine to join the Silverstone team. 'To be in the top five fighting with Ferrari, Mercedes, it seems a little bit unreal.'
Fernando Alonso, Aston Martin AMR23, is returned to the garageAlonso was bullish that Aston's strong pace at Sakhir was just the beginning as the AMR23 is still a"very basic car" in its launch specification, although he also wants to see how strong the car will be on the very different circuits of Jeddah and Melbourne.
"Sure, we need to wait for Jeddah, Australia, very different tracks, so I'm curious to see if we can keep this form in different circuits," he cautioned. "But also on the other hand, the car that we have now is just a very basic car that we launched and we start the season with, this completely new concept on the car."This project has the motivation to always go for more, so there are good things coming for Aston Martin."
