Fernando Alonso: Now everything depends on us
Fernando Alonso is looking forward to the new Formula 1 season with optimism. The Aston Martin driver expects his team to cope with the switch to the new regulations better than their rivals.
Fernando Alonso: “We actually switched to preparing for the next season as early as April. I’m optimistic because with the new regulations everyone will have to start from scratch, and that gives the chance that someone will do the job better than the others.
We’re starting from scratch, and that always gives hope. Our team has a new base, a new wind tunnel, Honda is supplying engines exclusively to us. We have fuel supplier Aramco, Adrian Newey... All the facts suggest we can be optimistic, but Formula 1 is a tough sport, and everyone might do their job well, so we’ll see.
I’m relaxed. It’s a long season ahead, and a lot will happen in the first three to four months as we study the car’s characteristics, understand which philosophy everyone has chosen, and which direction we need to go next. In the first two or three races we’ll get answers to many questions.
I believe we have everything necessary for a successful season — the people, the base, the equipment. So now it all depends on us.”
