Fernando Alonso said it was the project not the money that enticed him to Aston Martin. F1 ✏ FormulaNerds
Formula 1’s two-time World Champion Fernando Alonso has not left Alpine to join Aston Martin for money, instead, the Spaniard has joined the team in green for their “winning project”. According to former Formula 1 driver Pedro de la Rosa, Alonso’s move from the midfield to the back of the pack is not fuelled by a payday.In a move that threw F1 into a frenzy, Alonso will replace four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel, who is retiring at the end of the season.
“The most important thing for a driver is to get on a winning project, he told Spanish radio station La Cadena SER.De la Rosa also believes that Lawrence Stroll’s move for Alonso is set to lure in an abundance of new engineers for the team who have their goals set on one day winning a World Championship.
“As an engineer, you are going to go to the best project, not the one that pays you the best,” said the former pilot and commentator.
