2023 has been a year that both Fernando Alonso and Aston Martin will hardly forget. Fernando for his eight podium finishes and for feeling competitive again, and Aston Martin for firmly establishing itself as one of the great teams for the future.
And is not for less. The driver from Oviedo has had an outstanding season and, at 42 years old, has been able to get the most out of his car’s performance to achieve 206 vital points that have allowed him to secure fourth place in the world championship.
For this reason, after the last Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Alonso wanted to make self-criticism and review a season that has already gone down in the history of the Aston Martin team: “This first year is going to be difficult to forget.”
“The podium in the first race, the podium in Brazil… and finishing P4 in the championship, which is a little unexpected. I think the team has been united through thick and thin. We have incredible energy and a incredible team of mechanics,” confesses the Spaniard on the team’s social networks.
“The engineers, the people in the factory, the fans… We see the stands full of green and lime and I think Aston Martin has become one of the favorite teams in the paddock. That’s why I am very proud of the work we have done. done. On Tuesday we test for 2024, so we haven’t finished 2023 yet. We will come back stronger,” concludes the Spaniard.

Now, everyone in the British team is focused on developing a car capable of standing up to Red Bull so that Fernando, if the circumstances arise, can fight for the world title against Max Verstappen.
