Aston Martin team principal Mike Krack has responded to Fernando Alonso’s radio jibe during the Singapore Grand Prix, where the veteran driver called the car “undriveable.”
Alonso’s outburst came after he was forced to retire from the race with a power unit issue. He had been struggling with the car’s handling all weekend, and his frustration finally boiled over.
Krack, however, has insisted that Alonso’s remarks are “not a problem.”
“We know that Fernando is a very demanding driver, and he expects the best from his car.” Krack said.
“He was clearly frustrated with the car’s performance in Singapore, but we understand that.”
“We are working hard to improve the car, and we are confident that we can give Fernando a car that he can challenge for podiums and race wins with.”
“In the meantime, we appreciate his feedback and we will continue to work with him to make the car better.” Krack added.
It is clear that Aston Martin are not going to take Alonso’s comments personally. They know that he is a passionate driver who wants to win, and they are determined to give him the car he needs to do that.
Alonso’s outburst has also highlighted the challenges that Aston Martin are facing.
The team has made progress this season, but they are still not where they want to be. They need to continue to develop the car and improve their performance if they want to challenge for race wins and championships in the future.
It is worth noting that Alonso’s comments came on a particularly bad day for him. He had been struggling with the car all weekend, and he was clearly frustrated.
It is possible that he would not have been so critical of the car if he had been performing better.
Overall, it is important to remember that Aston Martin are still a young team in F1. They have made progress this season, but they still have a long way to go.
They need to continue to develop the car and improve their performance if they want to challenge for race wins and championships in the future.
