“Alonso is here to stay. He shouldn’t retire. He’s too fast”
Fernando Alonso has reiterated that it will decide whether or not to continue in the F1 during the summer and he was already very clear in his explanation on this topic in an interview granted a few weeks ago in Sports World.
And waiting for the time to announce what he wants to do, in the run-up to the Austrian F1 GP, at Aston Martin and Honda were confident about the possibility of the Spaniard continuing because he continues to maintain his enormous speed on the track, making the most of the bad car he currently has.
At a press conference in the hospitality of Aston Martinas reported by ‘Motorsport.com’, Mike Krackhead of the green team’s track, spoke with optimism about the decision that the man from Oviedo must make.
“If you look back, one or two seasons ago, we clearly said that he is here to stay. But yes, Fernando has said that during the summer holidays he will make a decision and we are happy with that.”commented a Krack who wanted to give his clear opinion on the matter: “Fernando should not retire. He is too fast”he concluded.
“We are happy with the drivers we have. They are in this with us and we also give them a lot of recognition for how they are managing it”expressed the Luxembourger, reiterating the ideas that he already said in previous appointments, in which he already highlighted that the drivers are the most exposed in this very difficult situation that the team is going through, having to drive one of the worst cars on the grid, difficult to drive and with an engine with a lot of power deficit, apart from the various setbacks that the car has had such as those suffered with the downshift.
“We talk about this many, many times, as the drivers are the most affected, the most exposed to this, and the way they manage it is… “They have my respect for the way they manage it.”argument.
“So I have high hopes that we will continue to work together,” He commented next to an Orihara who spoke about the engine evolution expected for the summer, although without yet specifying dates.
Shintaro highlighted the step forward they hope to take with the evolution of the propellant that they will be able to present this year due to the concessions of the ADUO system. They could present two, but he clarified when asked by ‘Cadena Cope’ that they will only use one of those two cards, something that is understood to be so they can focus on the 2027 engine. “It won’t be a small improvement, but it won’t be a miracle either.”said the Japanese, repeating what he already told MD in Monaco, when he highlighted that “in F1 there is no magic” but that he had found good numbers in the factory.
This step forward should be enough so that, with the aerodynamic improvement that should arrive in the summer, Alonso can go from fighting at the back of the grid to fighting for points constantly.
