F1 | Aston Martin, Krack understands Alonso's frustration at Suzuka

“You threw me to the lions.” A communication, that of Fernando Alonso, which certainly did not go unnoticed during the Japanese Grand Prix. A radio team in which the two-time world champion expressed all his doubts about the race strategy adopted byAston Martin. A situation of frustration, also considering the recent performances of the AMR23, far from those of the first half of the season, absolutely justifiable on Alonso's part as admitted by mike krack.

The Aston Martin team principal, discussing Alonso's radio team, reported that such an outburst from a driver of Alonso's caliber is understandable.

“If a driver wasn't frustrated, he would do better to ask himself if he is really suited to racing in Formula 1 – declared Krack – For us that's fine, it represents a motivation. The trend is important. If you start ahead and then the others pass you, it's more difficult for morale. And viceversa. So for us it is very important to change the trend. It's simple: we haven't done enough. But I'm sure if we listened to the communications of the 20 pilots, they are all very demanding. Because if he wasn't like that, what kind of pilot would he be?".

Krack, then speaking about the purely technical aspects of the single-seater, said that the team will bring other updates to the remaining races of the season: “There will be others before the last races. Even if it is true that in that area, in quantity and quality, fewer pieces have been added than our direct rivals. We won't compromise the next car, because what we learn with this car can be carried over to next year."
