Despite ending the BahrainGP as F1's second-best team, AstonMartinF1 admits its gap to redbullracing is still 'substantial'. Story:
Alonso himself believed that with a better start and without the need to fight past other cars he might have been 20 seconds behind, but that doesn’t take account of what Red Bull may have had in hand."We don't know how much management that Red Bull had to do and did. I think it was quite comfortable for them to just get the mandatory tyres through and cruise the race to the end.
Asked if the team can regularly target podiums he added:"We must not lose the ground under our feet and dream about podiums straight away. We knew that we were not bad. We knew that we had a strong race pace. "But so many things could go wrong. And after two laps, and I was not dreaming about the podium, to be very honest with you."So you have to just see how the race unfolds and just focus on your job. And we had also the attrition of Charles, which we shouldn't forget.Krack said the team is up to the job of fully exploiting a more competitive car, despite the lack of recent experience of fighting at the front.
