Everyone at Aston Martin is feeling good after an excellent start to the new Formula 1 season – but it's still not enough to fully satisfy owner Lawrence Stroll.
Fernando Alonso has finished third in all three races so far in 2023. And team-mate Lance Stroll has scored strong points in two of them, and would likely have made it a hat-trick of top-10 finishes had he not suffered a problem with his energy recovery system.
This is a team which regularly struggled to get into the points at all last year. Now, Stroll's bullish predictions of future F1 glory don't seem so far away with Aston Martin challenging Mercedes and Ferrari to be the closest challengers to runaway leaders Red Bull.
