Fernando Alonso says there is 'definitely something wrong' with the theories of Red Bull and Mercedes to both claim that Aston Martin 'have half of their car'. F12023 RedBull mercedesf1 FernandoAlonso
With both Red Bull and Mercedes taking partial credit for the Aston Martin AMR23, Fernando Alonso cannot see where either team is coming from.
Alonso has joined the Red Bull duo of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez on the first two podiums of the season in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, P3 finishes for Alonso on both occasions. “They say imitation is the biggest form of flattery, and it’s good to see the old car going so well,” said Red Bull team boss Christian Horner, while Bahrain’s P2 finisher Perez would joke “we are all Red Bull drivers” when he, Verstappen and Alonso faced the media together post-race.
Alonso though says there is “definitely something wrong” with the theories of both teams. Mercedes went with their unique zero-pod concept for the start of F1’s new ground-effect aerodynamics and stuck with it for F1 2023, instead of following a proven concept like Red Bull’s.
