Briatore predicts a bright future for Alonso with Aston Martin
Fernando Alonso embarks on a new project with Aston Martin from 2023. The Spanish driver is leaving Alpine after two seasons in which he demonstrated his ability to achieve excellent results. His former manager, Flavio Briatore, believes he will achieve great things with his new team.
After a particularly frustrating season at Alpine in 2022, Fernando Alonso will be driving alongside Lance Stroll next season. Aston Martin had a lot of difficulties at the start of the season, however, the intensive development of the English team allowed them to compete with Alpine and McLaren in the last races of the championship.
A new step
The double Spanish world champion begins a new chapter in his career at the age of 41. However, he is still just as fast on the track and will be a valuable asset for Aston Martin, who have to learn how to develop a car with a complex aerodynamic concept.
Alonso was very cautious during his first session with his new team during the post-season tests at the Yas Marina Circuit. The priority for the Spanish driver is to adapt to his new car, the new procedures…
However, when Dazn asks Flavio Briatore about his former protege’s arrival at Aston Martin, he is enthusiastic and confident about what the 2005 and 2006 Formula 1 world champion can achieve.
« Fernando is a Rottweiler at Aston Martin, no problem. He will have two great seasons. » He declared.
The Spanish driver will be able to rely on a determined team with a significant budget to return to the forefront of the discipline in the years to come. Aston Martin will inaugurate its new ultra-technological factory, equipped with a wind tunnel dedicated to the aerodynamic development of its single-seaters, in 2023.
