Aston Martin restructured its Formula 1 team for this season, in which it arrived Fernando Alonso and they could not start on a better basis: podium at the Bahrain Grand Prix, only behind the Red Bull of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez.

It’s WolfMercedes boss, hailed Aston Martin’s ‘really good’ work, although he would like to point out that he signed “a Red Bull man”, concretely Dan Fallows.

“They hired a man from Red Bull who managed to get the car back. suddenly turns off two seconds faster. A year ago they were 17th and 19th in the standings,” he told Austrian media ‘OE24’.

On the other hand, he wanted to emphasize that the Aston Martin is also fast in the hands of Spear Stroll. Something that has all the more merit since the Canadian had surgery on both wrists barely ten days ago.

“We knew Alonso was strong and motivated, but even Stroll was in front with two broken hands and a broken toe. It shows how good the car is,” Wolff said.

The presence of Fallows at Aston Martin has been much talked about. Him too supposed resemblance to Red Bull. Even Checo Pérez claimed after being second in Bahrain that he had “three Red Bulls on the podium”. Something that made Alonso laugh.
