Realistically, Aston Martin know Fernando Alonso fighting for the 2023 F1 title 'isn't going to happen'.
Aston Martin ‘realistic’, Fernando Alonso fighting for the 2023 title ‘isn’t going to happen’As Aston Martin welcome Fernando Alonso to the team, performance director Tom McCullough says they are being “realistic” about his chances of fighting for the World title.Alonso announced mid-season that he’d be joining Aston Martin next year, jumping at the opportunity to take Sebastian Vettel’s vacant seat.
“We’re on a journey. We are growing as a team. We’re getting stronger as a team. I think Fernando is going to add significantly to that as well.“If we can fight the top three teams next year, I’m sure we’ll be happy with that. “I’ll tell you one thing, he’s a very motivated and competitive character. You can see that from the outside. I’m starting to see that a little bit when I talk to him. He is focused solely on doing well.“Really happy to have him on board our team. He’s going to push us in every area of the team. He’s not going to be happy fighting in the midfield. He wants to be part of the step we’re wanting to take, which is to start challenging the top three teams.
That bodes well for next season but a leap from seventh to first, or even seventh to P3 and the title fight, is a step or 10 too far.
