Lawrence Stroll is pleased with Alonso’s arrival at Aston Martin
The owner of the British brand has reacted to the thunderclap that has just struck the world of Formula 1. Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso will be driving for Aston Martin starting next season.
While teams have barely returned from Budapest and the summer break has just begun, the announcement of Fernando Alonso’s arrival at Aston Martin starting from the 2023 season once again proves that Formula 1 can bring us huge surprises at any time of the year.
By becoming a full-time member of the team based in Silverstone, replacing Sebastian Vettel, the Spanish champion will undoubtedly play a crucial role in the winning machine that his owner, Lawrence Stroll, wants to build. In fact, Stroll didn’t waste any time in reacting to the announcement of Alonso’s arrival.
I have known and admired Fernando for several years, and it has always been clear that he is a committed “winner” like myself. I make sure to bring together the best people and develop the right resources and organization to succeed in this extremely competitive sport, and these plans are now taking shape at Silverstone.
For Lance’s father, it was natural to see Alonso and Aston Martin partnering together: It was only natural to invite Fernando to be part of the development of a winning team, and we quickly identified that we shared the same ambitions and values. So, it was logical and easy to confirm our desire to work together.
After Minardi, Renault/Alpine, McLaren, and Ferrari, Alonso will thus discover a fifth team in a career that started in 2001.
