Sebastian Vettel has played a part in the staff redeployment that will culminate in Fernando Alonso’s move to Aston Martin in 2023, when the four-time world champion retires from F1. A valuable contribution to the development of the Aston Martin F1.
Sebastian informed the team of his decision to leave Formula 1 after the end of the season on Wednesday for the Hungarian stage of the championship, and the following Monday Aston Martin announced a contract with Alonso – much to the surprise of Alpine F1, the current Spaniard employers.
“We have to pay tribute to Sebastian, he deserves all the credit because he understood how the situation is developing and informed us in advance,” Krak said. – This shows how open and genuine relationships we have. He understood that he could put us in a difficult position, so he made a decision in time. He has helped us enormously with that.”
According to Krak, long before Vettel announced his impending resignation, they saw Alonso as a potential candidate: “We always keep an eye on what is happening in the market, we are in touch with people who influence the development of events and we always see racers there. from.
Sebastian was the focus of our attention, and it was only after he said he planned to retire that we started acting quickly. His contribution is also valuable because our team is now better prepared to work with a driver like Alonso. Thanks to Vettel, our level has grown considerably in recent years.
He may not say much about it himself, but during meetings with engineers, Sebastian always expresses many wishes to the engineers and sets high standards for the car. In that regard, I think we are already better prepared (to work with Alonso).
During the negotiations with Fernando, we openly shared information with him about the structure and infrastructure of the team, talked about plans for the future, and it seems to me that all of this was a pretty convincing argument. Fernando is a smart guy, he knows exactly what goes on in the championship teams, as he has built up an extensive network of informants over the years.
He gets information from different sources and understands that he can make a big contribution to our project – very encouraging in my opinion. When we talk about Alonso’s age, we don’t have to worry about that. It still shows it’s capable of great speed and we don’t expect it to go down.”
