Aston Martin F1 boss Mike Krack says Fernando Alonso's run of podiums is down to the team 'not playing the lottery' and being able to gain consistency 🎰 Full story ⬇️
With the form of both Mercedes and Ferrari fluctuating wildly from race to race and from qualifying laps to long runs, team boss Krack thinks Alonso's consistency shows Aston Martin is"not playing the lottery" with its development and set-up choices.
"I think it shows we are a strong team," Krack replied when asked what the key was to its consistency as a newcomer in F1's top four. "It shows that we are not taking gambles, we are not playing the lottery, but we make choices based on data and based on the results we have.But Miami GP qualifying showed Aston can also get it wrong. In an attempt to save a set of soft tyres, Alonso and team-matewere sent out on their used set of softs for the second Q1 runs. That strategy backfired due to the massive track improvement, with Stroll being eliminated in 18th.
"We made quite a big mistake [in qualifying]," Krack admitted."So, we have been fault-free on the development but in qualifying it was not great."Photo by: Alexander Trienitz /With still 18 races to run and F1's 2023 development war only just getting started, questions remain over whether the Silverstone outfit will be able to continue its rapid in-season development, which will be required to compete with Mercedes and Ferrari.
