Alonso ‘100-plus’ per cent happy with Aston Martin move after first F1 test

Alonso dropped a bombshell on the F1 driver market when he signed a deal in July to join Aston Martin for next year, leavingAlthough Alonso does not officially start with Aston Martin until the new year, the two-time world championAlonso completed 97 laps in the AMR22 car, setting the third-fastest time of 1m26.

“For sure, they had a very strong weekend here. Sebastian [Vettel] qualified in front of me, so I don’t think there was much of a difference between Aston Martin and Alpine on the weekend. “I felt basically the same as well, I felt a very competitive car. Both Aston Martins finished in the points, so it was a good car anyway.”Asked if he felt as optimistic after the test as he did before getting in the car on Tuesday morning, Alonso replied: “No, I’m much more optimistic now.

“When I signed for Aston Martin, I was 90% happy. When they started improving and finished the season on a high, I was 100%. This morning, I was 100 and now I’m 100-plus.” Alonso endured a frustrating year with Alpine in 2022 as recurring reliability issues resulted in six DNFs, leaving him behind team-mate

AstonMartinF1 Only problem with Alonso's optimism at Aston is the fact he has a knack of picking the right teams at the wrong times and what's more, the teams he leaves see an upturn in good fortunes due to a dark cloud having been lifted

AstonMartinF1 He should have knocked on wood after that statement.

AstonMartinF1 Didn’t he say that when he joined Alpine ?
