Fernando Alonso has urged his new Aston Martin team to use their "ingenuity" in order to launch an unlikely title challenge in 2023.
Owner George Stroll has made no secret of his ambition to compete with the best in F1, and in late 2021 announced a new team headquarters and wind tunnel would be built with the aim of achieving that goal. Alonso will drive alongside his son Lance, who he this week labelled as a "possible world champion."
At 41 though, the Spaniard still clearly has the desire himself to become a three-time champion, leaving Alpine at the end of last season amid discontent over the performance of his car and nature of his short-term contract. And he clearly thinks that innovative thinking will be key if he and Stroll Jnr are to be up near the top end of the grid this season.
