Fernando Alonso says he is convinced the Aston Martin team he has joined this year will become winners in Formula 1 in the future. Alonso said he “believed there was a possibility” he could eventually win races and a third title with the team. “I don’t think this year – I am honest on that,” said Alonso. Alonso said: “I am very motivated and happy with the things I am seeing. This team is not happy with fourth, it is not happy with third, it is not happy with second. Alonso left Alpine at the end of last year because he was convinced by the potential of Aston Martin and Spaniard said he “trusts this project” and believed that Stroll would achieve his aims. “I am very demanding in everything I do,” Alonso said.
