Aston Martin has confirmed the signing of Fernando Alonso, who will replace Sebastian Vettel next season…
Fernando Alonso: “Given the passion and desire to win, Aston Martin is one of the most promising teams in modern Formula 1. I have known Lawrence and Lance for many years, I see their ambition and focus on success. I’ve seen the team systematically recruit the best professionals with the experience to win, I’m aware of serious investment in building new facilities on the Silverstone base. Nobody in Formula 1 today shows a deeper vision and an absolute desire to win, which really appeals to me.
I still want to win, fight the best. I want to be part of a team that strives to learn, grow and succeed. We understand that there is still a lot to do, that we have to do everything we can to achieve results. The passion and desire to perform that I have witnessed convince me that I will continue to enjoy and devote myself to the sport. I intend to win again and take the opportunities that seem right to me.”
Lawrence Walk, Executive Director: “I have known and admired Fernando for many years, it has always been clear that he is as focused on winning as I am. I have set myself the goal of bringing the best people together, providing them with the necessary resources and an effective organization to succeed in this highly competitive sport. And now those plans are taking shape at the Silverstone base.
It seemed logical to me to invite Fernando to participate in the creation of the winning team. During our recent conversations, we made sure that we share the same ambitions and values, it was logical and easy to confirm our desire to work together.”
Mike Krak, Team Leader: “I saw how excited our engineers and the whole team were about the opportunity to work with Fernando. Almost anyone can learn something from a man of Fernando’s level and experience. We are sure that he will inspire everyone to new achievements and strengthen the already powerful energy in the team.
We are on our way to building a team that can win. It is clear that Fernando will accelerate our progress and lead to results that we can be proud of.
We are delighted that Fernando and Lance will be our drivers next year – this is an incredibly strong combination of experience and youth. Both riders are looking forward to working together.”
