Ambassador of Aston Martin, Pedro de la Rosa spoke about the future of the British team’s drivers. The latter took the opportunity to dismiss the Carlos Sainz rumor by reaffirming his full confidence in Lance Stroll. An announcement which should not suit Fernando Alonso, who is far too lonely.
Three weeks ago, Fernando Alonso extended his contract with Aston Martin. The Spanish driver still believes in his chances of winning a third title because he thinks that the British team can offer him the car that will make the difference. In 2023, Alonso had an exceptional start to the season before finally breaking down at the end. This is undoubtedly explained by the repeated poor performances of Lance Stroll. The Canadian provided too few elements to the engineers to develop the car throughout the season and we still see no progress in 2024. Despite everything, Aston Martin still trusts him and Alonso will not have a new teammate next year according to Pedro de la Rosa.

“We are creating an incredible team here for the future”
« Why shouldn’t Lance continue? I mean, there is every reason to continue in the team with all the projects and that is the reason why Fernando decided to stay. Lance had two incredible races in Jeddah and Australia where he was faster than Fernando at certain points in the race. So why wouldn’t you want to continue with him? If you can see what’s going on behind the scenes at the factory with the new wind tunnel, with the people joining the team, we’re creating an incredible team here for the future “, said Pedro de la Rosa in remarks relayed by Nextgen-Auto. For him, Aston Martin couldn’t ask for a better duo.
“This is the strongest team we could have”
« I also think changes in driver pairings are bad in Formula 1 if you have a strong pairing. And I just believe that the way we should continue is just to keep our drivers, because that’s the strongest team we can have “, added Pedro de la Rosa. Not sure if you like it Fernando Alonso…
