Fernando Alonso believes new Aston Martin F1 teammate Lance Stroll 'has the possibility to be world champion', and has vowed to help him achieve his potential
The two-time world champion will partner Stroll in 2023 after joining Aston Martin on a multi-year deal following two seasons at midfield rivals Alpine.
The Canadian has one pole position, three podiums and 194 points across 122 starts in his F1 career so far, but incoming teammate Alonso has tipped him for far greater achievements. “I will use all my experience and all my knowledge to help the team shortcut the time that is needed to become World Champions,” he said in an interview published on the official Aston Martin website.
Asked how he will feel if Aston Martin starts winning after he stops driving, Alonso replied: “I will still be very proud if the team wins without me in the car. I will be very proud of the process and my contribution to the project.”
