Alonso: Eight months ago, something like this was unthinkable

Fernando Alonso said that the performance of the Aston Martin team at the qualifying in Bahrain was incredible, and that eight months ago, no one could have even imagined something like this. The Spaniard, who will take part in the first race with the Aston Martin team today, finished qualifying in fifth place, while his teammate Lance Stroll, who broke both wrists 12 days before, finished eighth. "It's just an incredible achievement and an incredible car that we have now," said an excited Alonso. "This is just the beginning of this project, so we have a good basis to develop in the next weeks and races. To start the first race from fifth place is incredible.

Aston Martin rejected the possibility of returning Vettel

formula 1

At the end of the winter testing in Bahrain, there were rumors that the recently retired four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel could replace the injured Lanca Stroll in the Aston Martin team.

Stroll broke both wrists in the accident

formula 1

Lance Strol suffered a crash during training with his bike before the start of F1's winter testing in Bahrain, in which he suffered fractures to both wrists. The driver of the Aston Martin team is said to have already undergone an operation on one of his broken wrists in Barcelona, and he was operated on by Dr. Xavier Mir, the surgeon who also operated on MotoGP star Marc Marquez after breaking his right arm in Jerez 2020. The team is very tight-lipped about Lanca Stroll's condition, so it is not entirely clear whether the rider will be ready for the first race of the season, or he will be replaced there by one of the reserve racers. Stroll is being replaced by Felipe Drugovich at the tests, and Stoffel Vandoorne is in a hurry in Cape Town, so it is unlikely that the latter would jump into the race, where he would meet his former teammate again as a teammate

The FIA has examined the form and ruled that it is not a disputed copy, although Red Bull insists it even has evidence that some employees who transferred from Milton Keynes to Aston Martin downloaded some data from the servers.

Stroll believes this is in itself proof that the Aston Ma
