While it may seem incredible that they’re still ahead of Ferrari, George, or Lando, Alonso acknowledges that these positions are likely to slip away. He recognizes the competitors’ speed and cautiously adds, “And yet, let’s see what we can do.”
As the teams start focusing on the next season, Alonso emphasizes that Aston Martin is tirelessly working to regain their momentum. He remains hopeful that the lessons learned from their difficulties in the latter part of 2023 will be more valuable than their early-season success.
“We are working as much as we can,” he said. “It’s not the position we wish we were [in], but at the same time, we are working very hard to reverse the situation. Sometimes you learn more from the difficulties than from the celebrations, so right now we have a difficult time. We are trying to do as many tests as possible, giving as much feedback as possible to the factory in Silverstone – and hopefully finish on a high and not on a low.”
