Aston Martin: "Old fox" Alonso brings F1 value beyond pure performance

Aston Martin team principal Mike Krack says that “old fox” Fernando Alonso brings much more to the Silverstone Formula 1 outfit than just his proven speed.

The 42-year-old is in his second season with Aston, having replaced fellow world champion Sebastian Vettel at the start of 2023.

Krack says that Alonso continues to push the team in all areas, on and off the track. “We've seen that last year already when he joined,” he noted.

“It's not only what he brings in terms of proven talent and racecraft - that, I think, we don't have to discuss. He brings this extra to the team, driving and pushing and motivating everybody. And leading by example, from the first moment in the morning to late at night, which is exemplary.

“And this is something that is infecting the whole team, that is something that you want to preserve.”
