The alleged bad reputation that Fernando Alonso has is not a problem for Mike Krack
“Obviously, there is a reputation, but I try to put this aside,” he declared in an interview with a media outlet. “I think we need to have a fresh approach. Maybe I’m different than other team managers, and he’s maybe a different driver. I’d be surprised if we had problems.”
Aston Martin has set very ambitious goals for Formula 1 and a good example of this is the investment it is making, both in terms of infrastructure and human resources. For this reason, Mike Krack prefers to focus on what Fernando Alonso contributes as a driver and athlete.
