It’s been almost two years since the Racing Point team, formerly Force India, became Aston Martin F1.
However, the results are still not up to what the small team at Silverstone had managed to do before Lawrence Stroll decided to involve the British manufacturer, which he bought out through a consortium.
When it is pointed out to Lance, his son, that the results have not been excellent, apart from a few podiums for Sebastian Vettel, the latter assesses the situation honestly.
« Yes, we’ve had a few difficult years since 2020. It’s just the circumstances and we know the reasons. We’re in a rebuilding phase, although there are a lot of talented people who have already been in the team since long time. »
« Other talented people are joining the team and that process takes a bit of time. I’m definitely confident, looking to the future, in the direction we’re headed. It just takes a bit of time. »
« Our project has managed to seduce Fernando Alonso, it’s exciting. He’s obviously a really talented driver, he has a lot of experience. And I’m looking forward to working alongside him. »
How different does he think Alonso will be from Vettel, who is also experienced and talented?
“Every teammate you have is different, of course. Everyone has different driving styles, everyone wants something different from the car and works with the team in a different way. So I have no ideas. I’ve never worked with him before. I’ve never been a crew member with him. So, yeah, I’m sure he’ll be different. But like I said, every crew member is unique. in its own way. »
