- Everyone in the F1 paddock seems to be interested in Aston Martin this year. Fernando Alonso claimed the team is ahead of Ferrari on race pace, and Mercedes say they expect to be behind them in the Bahrain Grand Prix. So, what's changed, and why is everyone so interested?

EL PLAN is working.
We hope bro we hope
Nah nah, LA MISIÓN
Now it’s called La Misión (The Mission). El Plan is way too associated to Alpine (they kinda became the public enemy to Alonso’s fans).
La misión brother
Alonso deserves it this season. He has pushed every car of his to the limits
Edit: I WILL UPDATE THIS EVERY TIME HE GETS A PODIUM LA MISIOOOOOOOOOOON
Bahrain - 3rd
Saudi - 3rd Edit: 4th Edit 3rd ☠️
Australia - 3rd
Miami - 3rd
He absolutely does
Absolutely.
I hope he finally moved to the right place at the right time
I believe this is why the Alpine failed so much with him, it wasn’t built to go beyond its limits, it was built to stay below them, which is Ocons style, Alonso however will always pull everything out of his box of talents, something the Alpine didn’t enjoy
He over drives all the cars he's had...he hasn't had a car that doesn't have to hassle him.... Really want him to get up there
I'm worried that AM is a little bit overhyped this season and they will be in the middle of the pack. I hope I'm wrong and they will actually fight for at least some podiums or even wins.
they are middle of the pack, but top of the midfield is the objective this year. wins depend more on development, theirs and Ferrari and Mercedes. McLaren is out of the picture and Alpine seem on the back foot too, so 4th in the championship is there for them.
You never know, they got some high quality engineers. I still remember watching Brawn GP...
Most of them are expected this much only, a bunch of podium and if lucky a win
@@orbit1894Christian Horner was gutted when Dan Fallows left for Aston Martin. That shows you how highly regarded Fallows is.
Last years first few races
were all over the place, so its quite possible that they will score some good results there, even though its unlikely they will suddenly match the podium pace.
aged like fine wine
QUE GRANDE ERES MAGIC!!!
Imagine having a 4 way battle for the championship? That would be amazing
It really would!
Last year, I was hoping it would be Alpine or Maclaren who put together a truly competitive package. But if it’s Aston Martin, I’ll take it! Especially with Fernando Alonso at the wheel… one of my favorite drivers, on track and off.
We dreamt of this since forever. Stop hoping
Andddddddddd you’ve jinxed it
A three way battle for second will be more likely. RB looks too strong
Aston have everything they need to be a top team. The exposure of a huge car brand, a new factory, a multiple time world champion, a solid second driver and an incredibly talented reserve for the future. I just wish we could have seen Seb and Fernando in the same team. After two years of hoping and praying I think being a fan of this team might finally be paying off. Looking forward to the season
I think its better to have alonso as the clear number 1 to avoid drama , and stroll appears to have developed enough to be a solid number 2
Stroll? solid? Lol
@@yesmate78 p6 while injured 👀...
I mean, if Aston really have a car on their hands then this would be the most fun season to watch in the recent years. I love Alonso. He is overall probably the best driver in all of racing cars.
I have been skeptical of Lawrence Stroll as being the classic boss villain that drives the team towards collapse rather success. But his determination comes with serious money and hunger. What is really impressive is that he really knocked it out of the park with his investment aptitude, coming in early as DTS helped blow up F1 globally. Now, we have an army of brands interested in joining, years after Lawrence Stroll saw something that nobody else did.
Bro called it☠️☠️🗿
Finally someone said it about Lawrence Stroll.
The man is a goon and a meme, but he genuinely loves cars and racing.
Just imagine Drugovich scoring a podium on debut
Imagine if he did and then when Lance got back he never got past P5. I'd love that.
@@graciouscompetentdwarfrabbit I would cringe intensively for the rest of the season tbh
It will be amazing!!!
When everyone needed him the most he returned
hola
The AMR23 seems better prepared for the season than the F2012 was 11 years ago. Alonso nearly won the title driving the F2012. It means that Alonso can comfortably win this year’s title. EL PLAN is finally working🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
(Seb fan btw)
Cool yr jets astro lol. I'd love to see it happen more than you can imagine but..
This is NOT 2012 yr talkin apples and oranges...
I'll dream about another title and expect a strong car and team effort and we know Fred will.wring that sumbitches neck!
So given the awesome and always present vagaries of F1 racing....we should be able to 'comfortably' expect a cpl of wins at least.....any more on top.of that and I'll be overjoyed
That's a bit optimistic isn't it? How can you be so sure that he'll perform on the same level?
sure, its better prepped but so are the other teams
People are definitely blind. Since his return Alonso has 1 podium in Doha 2021 and that is his only result since 2014. In the meantime Since 2016 Lance Stroll scored 2 podiums with Williams, 1 podium and a pole with Racing Point. Ocon for instance scored a 2nd place with Renault in 2020 and a win in 2021 as Alonso's team mate in Alpine. Gasly with Alpha tauri won a race in 2020 and scored a podium in Brazil. So these undeniable data shows that them all have been beating Alonso since Racing against him and no one is saying that any of them will win the 2023 season. The krioptonite of propaganda is solid facts.
@@rotorairgroup8409 woa woa you know ocon and gasly's win came from pure luck right(and alonso's defense)? 2016 williams was a decent car just like alpine in 2022 maybe even better. And you are the blind one if you think alonso is worse than ocon, gasly and stroll. If you have really watched the whole 2022 season lap by lap, you would have seen easily who was the superior one between ocon and alonso. The only reason ocon beat alonso by points is that he suffered 6 dnf's compared to ocon's 2.
Another interesting signing by Aston Martin is Eric Blandin, former Chief of Aerodynamics for Mercedes. He will be key in optimizing the Mercedes engine
I love your short unbiased thoughts on F1, it's refreshing especially with your editing style! :)
Alonso definitely has a chance in the right car and it'd be hilarious to see a 41 year old going toe to toe with the youngens'
I am so excited to see Alonso on pole positions and on the podiums 🙏😊
ALONSO CAN DRAG EVERY BIT OF PERFORMANCE OUT OF A CAR RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF SPINNING OUT. HES AMAZING AT THAT. DEF MY FAVORITE DRIVER
I think Seb knew something about 2023 and he told Alonso to go for the seat at Aston Martin.
It sounds plausible...
Nope... Vettel wanted Mick Schumacker in his seat...
Agreed!
imagine Drugovich fills in for Stroll and gets a podium on his debut, Hulk is gonna be PISSED
Lol, Hülkenberg is looking to smash his own record with 200+ GPs without a podium.
So sad to see that no single person except Aston Martin credited Vettel
Fernando Alonzo on the podium P3 in Bahrain
It would be nice to see green team winning again, we didn't have that since Lotus in 1960s.
I think this is the first video of yours I’ve watched and you’ve gained a subscriber in me. I love your presentation style, the direct delivery of relevant information, and the on-screen graphics. Thank you for this!
Thank you mate! Much appreciated :)
I’m all for new teams pushing through and becoming frontrunners.
HOWEVER…
It’s testing.
- we thought the 2022 McLaren was the 2nd quickest car for the year, maybe 3rd at worst.
- we thought the 2010 Sauber was the 2nd/3rd quickest car for that year as well.
Now, some of you will say “but the long runs man! The race pace!” Well yes.
But…
- the 2019 Ferrari had dominant race pace and long run pace in 2019 preseason
- the 2013 Lotus had dominant race pace and long run pace in the 2013 preseason (and being quicker while still doing 1 less tyre stop on the full race-distance simulations)
As far as I’m aware neither of those cars won any titles.
I’m NOT saying the Aston will be P2 it’s a godly car. I’m NOT saying the Aston will take its place beside Williams.
But I’m saying testing is a lot more volatile than people realize, even with long run, short run data, etc.
How Alonso managed to wring the neck out of that dog of a Ferrari, several years on the trot shows how good a driver he is.
I'll be happy if AM is good and can fight for podiums and wins, but i'll be angry too because the work that was done by Vettel won't get the rewards from it, I'd love a final win from Vettel before retiring, such a shame!
**sigh** I'll give in. I'm on the Alonso hype train
as you should be🙌
I think the Drugovich/Alonso pairing for this race can get an Aston on the podium. Drugovich in his f2 season showed great tire Management and This could result in him helping Alonso offset pitstops.
Why was this not recommended this but instead shorts by people i am not subbed to. Great video btw.
Fantastic video keep it up you're doing amazing job
im not super optimistic about amr, but I'm a huge fanboy so I'm hoping for the best for them
The Aston sidepods are actually much closer to if you took the general shape from the Red Bull and added the trenches that Alpine has, more so than Ferrari's tubs.
The text is back to normal! Thank you!
The fact that you're doing these during your A Levels mate, GGs
Felipe and Nando in the Top 5 would be amazing too
I would not Hype to much, i’ve got some Ferrari 2019 vibes Form Aston. Back then also everybody sad Ferrari is the Team to beat and then Merc had 5 1-2 in a row.
Seeing Fernando and Lewis fighting for positions again sounds really exicting
While I acknowledge Aston Martins apparent pace from testing but I won't believe that they're out of the midfield even until I see it proven on race days. Right now I would say they're probably 4th or 5th. Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes are all going to be faster IMO and honestly I could see if Alpine was sandbagging the winter tests. I would LOVE Aston Martin to be firmly up there with Ferrari and Red Bull and Merc, but I'm just not sold.
Happier now ? Great race from FA !
I think they will start fighting for the 4th, and will end the season like fighting for podiums, another year with super progress
Im on the AM hype train because of Alonso.
It's RaWe CeEk!
One on the podium👀 I don't knowww, but would love to see that haha
Would be lovely to see Drugovich do well, It's wonderful to have a brazilian back on the grid
you were spot on :)
Great thumbnail, glad I could help
couldn't have done it without the graphic design goat
Since McLaren is not going to improve so I will root for Aston Martin this season as a Nando fan.
The fact that a brand new prototype car stopped four turns into its first laps means literally nothing especially when it was running shortly thereafter and they had a great three days
I'm convinced Aston is paying pundits and CZcamsrs to hype them up, this is getting seriously ridiculous.
as much as i would love to see AM be on the level of RB this weekend, i very much doubt that it will happen
they’re gonna be top 5 team. i doubt they will be near the top 3 but they will move up a lot.
Look at the times that the AMR putting up in testing from Alonso. That's the car Alonso gets. Now imagine the car that Stroll will receive. Stroll will be top 4 driver and every one will hate him for it.
I had a good chat with am's head of r and d recently, and he's hinted that they have worked around the regulation that banned their endplated rear wing from last year
How devastating would it be for Seb if this car actually performs good.
He's got a few world championships to his name some money in the bank and a family I'm sure he will be ok :)
I don't think he cares lol
Everyone just repeats what they hear from so-called experts. Now suddenly AM is the team that rises from the mid-field. Don’t believe it. The advantage the top-3 have from earlier years in terms of knowledge and expertise is too big to tackle within 2 years. And Alonso may be a great driver, he does not have the capability to push the car beyond its limits. There is only one who can do that and he will carry #1 three years in a row next year.
Good video btw. Much, much better than all those cheap YT Channels around.
Every year there’s hype around something from testing and it inevitably leads nowhere. Ppl said the same thing when Seb joined, I’d love to Aston doing well but I thinking getting multiple podiums is a bit much, maybe they can fluke one at the start of the year but then so can anyone. How often are two of the top three teams going to be non podium contenders?
5:25 thats a game!
I just came back after watching FP2 Alonso Fastest in The aston!!!!
I don't care for AM, I just want to see Slonzo win some races 😁
This video is great and really in depth but for me the text appearing on screen is really distracting
The words coming out of your mouth got me damn excited
Really hoping Lance proves his critics wrong this season and scores his first win as an Aston fan 🏆
I hope Alonso is competitive this season
AM is so overhyped ATM i think at this point they can only disappoint. Like - finishing 7 and 8 would be great progress comparing to the start of the last year and would made them at least the 4th fastest team but people would still think it's bad because of the high expectactions
But how? It usually takes time to bounce from being at the back of the grid to fighting for podiums. If that's a miracle, then I'll go for it. Alonso clearly deserves fighting for podiums at the very least. Just give him a reliable car. That seems finally a good career choice for Fernando, after 2007. This is his time. Aston can go back to 2020 pace. First pole since 2012? First win since 2013? Idk. But I'm getting excited
People tend to forget teams play a huge role in the race. AM threw more than 40 points because of poor strategies, pit stop errors, and even the most unlikely of errors like wrong cooling setup and tire pressures in Miami and Canada. Plus an additional podium in Hungary of 2021. I think the very reason Seb retired was down to that very mismanagement that plagued him in his Ferrari years. Only time will tell if they’ll repeat that again, but chances are Alonso will experience similar things from his reliability issues, and that is throwing away points.
the Aston hype is real. the season is going to be really interesting.
I just noticed the strange saw shape of the cockpit windscreen... it´s just the Aston or the other teams have it to?
I hope merc power units are good
EL Plan
Todos confiamos en LA MISIÓN.
I would say that the main change in Aston Martin was hiring the best employees in F1. Guys from other teams (Mercedes, Red Bull) we’re attracted to Aston Martin because of great salaries. On the other hand, Mercedes lost a lot of personnel to Aston Martin and Red Bull in the last 3 years.
As a Lewis hater, I love to see him lose but that sucker is super fast and has experience for days.. No way is Aston gonna beat a merc except on their off day
That's quite respectable if you can objectively admit that. most haters seem to be completely blinded by dislike lmao
@@formularguments7335 in the same car I only think max and Fernando could beat him over a season and that's a 50/50 chance.
Wasn't everyone excited about Aston Martin even 1 year ago and ... . .
RaWe
CeEk
First rawe ceek of the year
AM is an early developmentteam. As are RB ,Ferrari and Merc. The costcap will make certain teams(McLaren cough cough) risk it and wait for what the others brought to Bahrain. Under a costcap that is actually the smarter move. You just do some dev on small parts and then come out swinging after a few races with proven philosophies that work. Costcap boys, costcap. Don't forget😉
But with four teams going the early development route one of them is bound to get it right meaning all the late developers will be playing catch up.
Lets be honest, they arent fighting Ferrari or RB. Maybe Merc at times but they will likely be outdeveloped by them
Nobody truly wins until F1 broadcasts in 4k60.
Imagine being Felipe. It’s your first time ever driving an F1 car in a race and your teammate is a two time world champion with 20 years under his belt.
Alonso to dominate all season long.
🤞🤞
Mclaren or Aston Martin need to hire Mattia.
Binnotto is undoubtedly one of the greatest technical minds in F1 right now- the turn around from 2019-2021 is very very impressive.
Mclaren, in particular, need a stronger technical senior to bolster James Key.
“FERNANDO, DRUGO IS FASTER THAN YOU” 😈
We were excited about Ferrari....
The AM is the best liveried car on the grid this year, but I still doubt they will be as fast as the top 3 by the end of the season
Reb Bull gonna dominant, let's not kid ourselves
If they only managed one win with tracing point, I doubt they would win anything substantial this year. But I hope I'm wrong, Alonso deserve to win again.
Here before AM finishes 5th in the standings behind Alpine.
The car that Seb built. It's a shame he didn't get to drive it.
sickooooooo
Seb has always said he only wants to race if he can win. He's a four time champion and if you look back at his career he would do anything he could to win in F1. So why in the hell would he ever leave a team that he thought would be competitive NEXT YEAR? I just dont see it. Seb left because the team isn't capable. (Alonso fan btw)
Thoughts on the Alfa Romeo
Oh boy can't wait for Aston Martin hyper's reaction when they score zero points in Bahrain and end up lower than 5th in constructor's championship once again 😂
LOL 🤦♂️
You guys are going to be in a massive chock
People will get disappointed. They will do nothing. Same as last year … testing is completely different than qualifying and racing.
Only convinced after its been on track. Imo at best, it'll be a sideways move for Alonso. I can see a season long battle between Alpine and Aston Martin.
i hope something have happend and aston has a championship winning car i want to see fernando in a fast car
The only thing I'm worried about lance stroll. And in more than one instance.
What if the team starts to favor stroll? What if stroll holds the team back? What if stroll gets an ego problem?
I'm not saying this WILL happen, but it can. At some point if stroll doesn't perform well enough, AM might have to cut him off. Its not about lawerence stroll's son, it's about the team.
If he can make that call then I will believe in lawerence stroll truly being here for racing.
I would be excited if they had two decent drivers. If Drugovich was partnering Fernando I would be super excited.
I would like to see AM, Alfa Romeo, Haas, Alpine fighting for wins, podiums instead of Red Bull, Mercedes, Ferrari.
