🗣️ 'If we are not 100% in all areas at all times, then there is no podium' Team boss Mike Krack says Aston Martin cannot take F1 podiums for granted due to the threat of Ferrari and Mercedes ⬇️
"Feet on the ground, you should never take a podium in F1 as normal or as a given," Krack replied when asked if podiums are starting to feel normal for the team that finished seventh in the 2022 championship.
"It's a lot of hard work involved to be on the podium and you have very, very strong competitors in Formula 1, very professional.Fernando Alonso, Aston Martin F1 Team, 3rd position, celebrates with his team on arrival in Parc FermeRather than trying to catch Red Bull, Krack acknowledged his squad would do well to hang on to its shock second position in the standings.
Ferrari has shown excellent flashes of one-lap speed but is struggling for consistent race pace, meanwhile Mercedes is bringing an all-new sidepod, floor and front suspension to Imola's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in two weeks' time. If both squads manage to make substantial steps forward, then Aston is facing a big task to stay in front with still 18 rounds left to run. Despite its woes, Mercedes only trails its customer team by six points.
