Aston Martin F1 team principal Mike Krack believes that “the opportunity is there” for Fernando Alonso to win the MiamiGP despite the Spaniard’s own scepticism 👀 Here's what he said ⬇️
Asked about the prospects for a victory Alonso was keen to downplay his chances.“I think even the podium is going to be difficult, but we do our race. We've been doing this the whole season, we are in a privileged position, we never expected to be here.
“If it’s P5, it’s going to be P5. If it’s P7, P7. If it’s another podium it will be fantastic. But I think it's going to be a tough race.”However Krack said that Aston has to target victory given Alonso’s front row starting position.“I mean, if you start from the first row, I said it also in Jeddah, if you start from the first row, your aim has to be to win the race.
"It was not an easy one yesterday, the first session,” he said. “With a huge track improvement I think it was very, very difficult to read the track. "And I think this we carried this not being 100% sure where we were into all the sessions up until qualifying.”
