Mike Krack declared his delight in reaction to Fernando Alonso's admission that he intends to stay with Aston Martin for the long-term.
Aged 41, Alonso is not only still driving in Formula 1 but competing. Five podiums from seven races so far this year have put him third in the drivers' standings behind only the two Red Bull racers.
And his exploits have also benefitted his new team. Aston Martin have spent most of the season so far in second place, but slipped below Mercedes after the Silver Arrows' strong showing at the Spanish Grand Prix.
