Fernando Alonso will replace Sebastian Vettel at Aston Martin next season. The Spanish driver is known for not hiding his displeasure with the team when reality doesn’t match expectations, but Aston Martin boss Mike Krak is confident he will find a common language with Alonso.
Mike Krak “Collaboration with Fernando – kind of a challenge. Usually, riders with this experience no longer have a strong desire to win, especially if the rider has already won. However, Fernando has a unique combination of speed, drive to win, motivation and experience. That’s why it’s perfect for us.
But there is a downside: if the car is not good enough, it will be difficult for us. On the other hand, any driver is difficult to work with if the car is not fast enough. However, a driver of Fernando’s level is very important for the team to take the next step forward.
We have to learn to work with champions, which we have already done with Sebastian. Such racers are demanding, but it was not difficult to work with Sebastian due to the fact that we are open and honest with him. I think it will be the same with Fernando.
Fernando can be sure that we will do our best and listen to his wishes. And if we can’t do something, we will say so openly. I don’t think there should be a problem with this approach.
We have discussed all the pros and cons of inviting Fernando and have come to the conclusion that this is the right move.”
