Fernando Alonso predicts “difficult” early races at Aston Martin: “In F1 there are no miracles"
Alonso makes the switch to Aston Martin as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel’s replacement alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll.
Despite two lacklustre seasons, Aston Martin are quite confident of improving on their back-to-back P7 finishes in🌄 the constructors’ championship.
Technical chief Dan Fallows has already labelled t✅he AMR2🥂3 as “bold and aggressive”, lending to their Red Bull-like sidepod design.
Alonso has finished𝐆 on the podium just once since leaving Ferrari, while his win drought stretches back to 2013.
“They are not giving expectations that are unrealistic. They know where we are,” Alonso 🌄said. “We have to understand that in F1 th༒ere are no miracles from one year to the next.
“We know 𓆏that last year only three teams finished on the same lap as the leader - Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes. Everybody else was one lap behind, including Alpine, who finished fourth in the championship, and McLaren.
“We know that those kind of gaps in F1 are very difficult to overcome in two or th🧜ree months. But let’s see if we can have a good season, enjoy it, have good reliability and make sure that the team𝔉 grows up during the season.
“The most important thing for me this year is just to make sure that this cꦆar and this baseline is the one with which we will develop the future Aston Martin cars.”
With just one and a half days of testing available to every driver🌄 on the grid ahead 🅷of the new season, Alonso expects the first few races to be “difficult” as he adapts to life with Aston Martin.
“I have my feet on the ground,” Alonso added. “I cannot say to anyone that we will be fighting for victories this year. I wi🍨ll lie if I say that. But at the same time, we want to have a good car to start with, and to work and develop that car throughout the season.
“Maybe in the second part of the year, we can get closer. If there is an opportunity that is in changeable c♒onditions, if the opportunity comes, we will not miss tha🌸t opportunity.
“But at the beginning, I expect some difficult races until we find where the car operates, in which window we have to work with the ꦜset-up.”
