Fernando Alonso lifts the curtain on Aston Martin dynamics with ‘a whole project around Lance Stroll’


Despite the claims of Mike Crack that Project Aston Martin built around Lance Stroll, Fernando Alonso says there is more to it. He calls team owner Lawrence Stroll a ‘racer’ who wants to succeed.

After Alonso stunned the paddock by announcing a few days after the Japan Grand Prix that he would re-sign with Aston Martin, questions were raised about his teammate.

Although Stroll can be called the most guaranteed F1 driver, as his wealthy father Lawrence is the owner of the team, experts continue to question whether he wants to become a Formula 1 driver, as he is still beaten by Alonso.

Team boss Krack said in response: “Aston Martin is Lance’s home. We know that and the whole project revolves around him. So we’re looking for continuity. I’ve always found that very important. We’ll see in the coming weeks.”

But in light of Krack’s ‘project-wide’ comments, David Croft wondered if the team boss’ defense of Stroll’s indefensible crash in China was due to fear of upsetting the Canadian and his father. “This is like, ‘We’re going to support Lance because we want him to stay with the team,'” he said. Sky F1-commentator.

However, Alonso has hinted that there is more to Lawrence Stroll’s ownership of the Aston Martin team than a safe haven for his son’s F1 ambitions. “He’s a good person, a good boss and a good brand owner,” the two-time F1 world champion told Channel 4.

“Lawrence is an athlete, he’s one of us, and he loves motorsport, he loves cars. What he’s done with this team is unique. He’s taken it from Racing Point, Force India, and taken everything to the next level and now we’re fighting Ferrari, Mercedes, McLaren and Red Bull The fact that the project is led by someone who loves racing is very satisfying for everyone.
