I think Aston has the potential to be the second best team on the grid, however I feel that depends on Lance’s consistency and if they can follow an upgrade path that sees them improving over the season with others. Theoretically it could be possible because they were almost as gentle on their tiers as Red Bull while McLaren and Mercedes were fast but much harder on the rubber. It seems like a lot of teams will be moving towards a Red Bull package and with Aston being one of the closest in terms of tire degradation will focus on reducing drag and increasing their top speed, which was their biggest problem by the end of the year and probably their only reason why the couldn’t catch Red Bull at the beginning.
I think Alonso taking an active role as a principal player and cheer leader in the Team is a good thing. He's never really done this before and the timing for Aston is perfect. I would imagine alot of their efforts, car wise, will be based around the RB19 with their own interpretation of certain design elements. Maybe this will inspire Lance to pick it up. I don't know about race wins, but if they were in the league of McLaren and racing with Mercedes and Ferrari that would be a victory for the Team and Fernando. The surprise twist and party spoiler maybe AlphaTauri or whatever they're calling themselves. The technology transfer this year from Red Bull is massive. It will be interesting to see what Danny can do with it.
It's now or never for Alonso. I hope Aston Martin engineers really understood the car as they stated they did and can build a great car again for this season which will be a tremendous task for such a small team. If they get 8 podiums again that's a successful season in my opinion. If the year is bad like the second half of last season Alonso probably will retire.
If Alonso can get a race win, then I think they have done more than enough. When he joined them they had absolutely no right to turn up and perform as well as they did
One of Alonso's strengths is he always has his garage working for him. He'll get that Aston Martin tuned/tailored to get what he can out of it.
This IS Fernando's year!

I was hoping Stroll was demoted.
.... And I am an Albertan.
Alonso has been amazing to watch. Pure class both on and off the track.
Cheers!

alonso will take Aston to the top of the podium this year #33
Did they update the power unit I'm talking about Mercedes
Alonso, Albon and Max one team driver 😎
Alonso is amazing, too bad he has to drive for two.
I feel like stroll isn't that bad of a driver we forget lattifi and mazaspin so quickly compared to them stroll is down right average
Albon x Aston
Stroll x Tennis
Alpine did worse than break. They chose Ocon.
Lance Stroll isn’t going anywhere so give it a rest.
Has anyone seen Mike Crack?
exactly WHY he will always be better than LH...!
He should get Stroll fired
Aston Martin can't win anything with Lance 'loser' Stroll...
They need to get rid of stroll, he aint worth the time of teaching from alonso.. hes just a daddys boy with nothing more to give 💯💯
Salty 😂😂
Le Autistique needs to be fired, but daddy wont let that happen
