The first video of Fernando Alonso with the colors of Fernando Alonso.
Coinciding with the goodbye to the year 2022, many of the contracts that linked several pilots to their already former teams ended. One of the most attractive and unexpected movements that the new season will offer us is the signing of Fernando Alonso by Aston Martin. The Spaniard has already presented himself as a new driver for the British team.
In a video, published by the team owned by Lawrence Stroll on this New Year’s Day, we can see the driver from Oviedo for the first time with the colors and logos of this historic brand. Let’s remember that, in his test with the 2022 car in Abu Dhabi last November, Alonso wore a ‘neutral’ suit, without logos, since he still had a contract with the Alpine team.
With the team cap, the logo of the iconic sports brand and his signature, Alonso introduces himself as a team driver. “I am Fernando Alonso (I am Fernando Alonso)”, he says in the images that you can see above. Although the two-time F1 world champion needs little introduction, the team thus shares its new enthusiasm for the most important season in its short history.
This year, Aston Martín F1 has the objective of growing, after a difficult 2022 due to the errors made in the approach to the concept of the new car, adapted to the new Formula 1 regulations. The team has been reinforced not only with Alonso, but also with technicians from other teams, such as Dan Fallows, who was Adrian Newey’s right-hand man at Red Bull.
Now, Alonso can already work hand in hand with who will be his new teammates in the 2023 and 2024 seasons, at least, since it is the term agreed in his new contract with Aston Martin.
As a partner, Fernando will have Lance Stroll, son of the team owner, and together they will fight to bring the team to the fight in the middle part of the grid, a league where, for example, Alpine and McLaren are, that the year In the past they battled for a fourth position in which the French team finally finished… and to which Alonso contributed.
Pedro de la Rosa will also be in this team, who will carry out the work of ambassador, while combining it with that of his commentator on DAZN F1.
