Krack rechaza la sombría valoración de Alonso sobre Aston.

      Sólo Alpine está detrás de nosotros

      El exjefe del equipo Aston Martin, Mike Krack, ha intentado moderar la cada vez más pesimista valoración de Fernando Alonso sobre la forma del equipo, insistiendo en que la situación no es tan mala como suena.

      Alonso calificó al AMR25 como "el noveno coche más rápido" tras lograr apenas un único punto por el décimo puesto en Austin, advirtiendo que Aston ahora se encuentra "en tierra de nadie".

      "Los cuatro primeros equipos están en otra liga", dijo Alonso. "Williams está en el medio. Haas iba más rápido, a Sauber ni me lo imagino, y Racing Bulls estuvo detrás de nosotros toda la carrera: tenían una ventaja.

      "Sólo Alpine está detrás de nosotros. Así que con el noveno coche conseguimos un punto. Estoy contento con eso."

      El español, ahora claramente mirando al coche de Adrian Newey de 2026, añadió: "Un punto es mejor que nada, pero está bien. Tenemos que llegar a Abu Dabi lo antes posible, y si conseguimos un punto en una carrera, bienvenido sea."

      Sin embargo, Krack —que ahora es el director en pista del equipo— pidió evitar un pesimismo excesivo.

      "Creo que a veces somos demasiado autocríticos", dijo el luxemburgués. "También tenemos que recordar celebrar las cosas positivas."

      Krack rechazó la idea de que Aston esté cerca de la parte trasera del pelotón. "Necesitamos revisar estos análisis en detalle. Algunos usan neumáticos blandos, otros medios, otros duros: hay que mirar los datos antes de decir realmente dónde estamos en términos de ritmo", dijo.

      "Si eres excesivamente autocrítico cada vez que no ganas, se convierten en unas largas 24 carreras. Cuando consigues un punto o varios, tienes que tomar un respiro. Y luego, al día siguiente, volver a luchar por la perfección."

      Alonso, mientras tanto, dijo que el patrón de Aston de perder rendimiento a lo largo de los fines de semana de carrera sigue siendo preocupante. "Esperaba algo más", admitió.

      "Si sales décimo, esperas que sea posible el noveno u octavo puesto. Dos coches rápidos se retiraron delante de nosotros. Terminar décimo no fue una carrera muy buena.

      "El viernes estamos bien, el sábado un poco menos, y el domingo un poco menos."

      El bicampeón del mundo también sonó incierto sobre 2026, cuando Aston Martin debutará con su propia caja de cambios y se asociará con Honda. "Tendremos que esperar y ver", dijo a DAZN.

      "Todos empezamos con dudas sobre si hemos tomado el camino correcto. Tenemos gente nueva, un nuevo socio motor, y haremos una caja de cambios por primera vez en 17 años. Será un comienzo más ajetreado que para otros equipos."

Although his chances for the title have clearly improved, he made it clear that he is trying not to think about what awaits him in the remaining rounds of the season... Question: Max, congratulations on a convincing victory! Tell us how the race unfolded? Max Verstappen: Yes, the weekend was perfect. I think the most important part of the race was the first stint, when I managed to create a small gap, because after the pit stop everything mostly stabilized and I simply drove to the finish. I think it was very important to manage the tyres correctly, and that wasn't easy, because on some laps there were some odd sensations related to balance and grip. Overall, it was one of those days when you just have to try not to make mistakes, drive as consistently as possible and avoid the bumps. But we won again, and that can be considered an incredible achievement. Question: You mentioned tyre work: after the sprint you said you couldn't confidently judge the intensity of their wear. How did the tyres perform over the 56-lap Grand Prix distance? Max Verstappen: I think today the tyres worked somewhat better, although perhaps still not as well as I would have liked. But nevertheless we won, and that's of course the most important thing. Question: How much harder do you think it would have been if Charles Leclerc hadn't passed Lando Norris at the start? Max Verstappen: I think the battle would have been extremely tight. In my view, whenever the track ahead of Lando was clear, we ran at practically the same pace. Maybe at certain moments he was quicker. Overall, at the finish the gap between our cars would have been minimal. Question: Considering the speed your car is now capable of, and the fact that you beat Oscar Piastri by 30 seconds at this circuit, what do you think about the remaining rounds of the championship? Max Verstappen: I think that to have a chance at the title we must execute all the remaining races perfectly. Yes, we have significantly reduced the deficit, but since the difference in car performance is very small, each weekend you have to try to do everything as correctly as possible — that's exactly what we are trying to do. Question: Over the last four rounds you have taken 64 points back from Oscar, who leads the championship. On which of the remaining five tracks are you most likely to be able to fight for wins? Max Verstappen: I don't know. As I said, the rivalry is getting very fierce, and you just have to pay maximum attention to all the details — that's what the end result depends on. Each weekend you must try to set the car up as best as possible and also avoid mistakes. That's exactly how we're trying to operate. Question: Next up is the Mexican Grand Prix, and the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is located at high altitude and the weather is expected to be very hot. How well do you think your car will cope with those conditions? Max Verstappen: We'll find out the whole truth next weekend. I'm not thinking about it yet. You can speculate, but I don't like doing that. Question: After the Zandvoort round you were 104 points behind Oscar, the championship leader. After four races your deficit was reduced to 40 points. If someone had told you during the Zandvoort weekend that after the US Grand Prix you would be back among the title contenders, would you have believed it? Max Verstappen: No. I would have told that person they're an idiot. However, it's simple: we managed to find the right approach to the car. Of course, we introduced a number of technical updates and now better understand the characteristics of the R21, we understand how to improve its efficiency, and we try to achieve that every weekend. Sometimes a weekend goes particularly well, but overall recently we've been doing much better than before. We must make every effort to ensure that this trend continues at each of the remaining rounds of the season.
