“His character is complex. Maybe something is wrong with his relationship with Alpin – Martsenko on Alonso’s move to Aston Martin

World Series stage winner Renault Nikolay Martsenko, commenting on the upcoming pilot transition “Alpine” Fernando Alonso in “Aston Martin” , did not rule out that the Spaniard’s decision is linked to financial aspects and his difficult relationship in the France team squad. Moreover, one of the reasons for the transition, according to Martsenko, can be considered serious guarantees from Mercedes, whose engines are used by Aston Martin.

Earlier on Monday, Aston Martin announced that the double world champion will play for the British team from 2023. The parties have signed a multi-year contract.

“I hope Alonso knows what we don’t know. Because ‘Aston Martin’ is currently doing much worse than ‘Alpin’. And, in fact, they can’t be called a factory team, because they have a Mercedes customer engine. That is to say, perhaps we should expect very close collaboration between the British team and its engine manufacturer. In other words, they probably trust that they will will soon be battling for podium places and victory. I see no other reason to change teams. Alonso may think Alpin’s prospects are worse than Aston Martin’s. In a nutshell, he believes that the cooperation between Aston Martin and Mercedes will have a very good effect in the future. He probably knows something about the engines and what the balance of power will be in this regard next season.

On the other hand, his character is quite complex, and perhaps something went wrong in relations with Alpin, and here a place becomes available at Aston Martin: Vettel leaves. Probably, in addition to everything else, he was offered a lot of money. It is possible that Aston Martin intends to attract more funding in its direction, Martsenko told .
