To Fulfill Lawrence Stroll & Fernando Alonso’s Ambitions, Aston Martin F1 Look to Unleash Its Aggressive Upgrade in Baku

This is what dreams are made of. 41-year-old Fernando Alonso is scripting history as he has awoken after a decade-long dormancy. Arrival at Aston Martin changed everything and now the resurrected Spaniard and the immensely improved team have unexpectedly risen in the ranks, currently fairing ahead of Mercedes and just behind Red Bull. But as the dominance of Milton Keynes is rising, one often wonders if they can be challenged at all. Aston Martin perhaps has the answer for that.

Aston Martin finished seventh in the championship tally last year. Unexpectedly, Fernando Alonso, who was a part of the rulers of midfield, packed his bags and jumped in, trusting Lawrence Stroll’s vision. Now with three races in and trumping the likes of mighty Mercedes and Ferrari, the British outfit wants to take the fight to Milton Keynes. But how will they do the unthinkable? Perhaps the Spring break before Baku might come in handy in the developmental race.

As quoted by El Nacional, according to Auto Motor und Sport, “The green team will have this new spoiler ready for the Grand Prix of Baku, in addition to other improvements, which should serve to give more speed on the straights. A modification of the single-seater that will surely make Fernando Alonso happy, who is already dreaming of celebrating another victory.”

While Fernando stands reaping the benefits of the developmental leap, it was actually someone else who laid the foundational stone for the glory.

Fernando Alonso cutting what Sebastian Vettel had sown

After an unceremonious ousting by Maranello, Sebastian Vettel decided to join the newly rebranded team, Aston Martin. While the team collected a total of 55 points last year, they are already ahead of that mark with only three races in. And the team principal Mike Krack believes that Vettel should be credited for the current state of the team.

Krack said, “I think you have to give Seb some of the credit for our jump. He contributed to getting our car to where it is today. We had a lot of meetings last year where he gave us hints. He would advise us, ‘Do this and that’s another, but don’t do that with the new car’. So I think it’s necessary to recognize his contribution.”
