The Aston Martin ‘calling card’ to get ‘who they want’ to replace Lance StrollAston Martin will have their pick of drivers in the pitlane, once Fernando Alonso achieves the team’s first win under their new identity.
With Fernando Alonso at the wheel of one of their cars this year, the two-time World Champion is enjoying a late-career resurgence as he’s scored five podiums from the first seven races and is helping keep Aston Martin in the fight over the runner-up position in this year’s Constructors’ Championship.

But Kennedy believes Alonso is capable of pulling off his elusive 33rd victory this year, even if that opportunity went begging at last month’s Monaco Grand Prix, and that doing so will make Aston Martin a very attractive proposition for the future, should they wish to replace Lance Stroll with another World Champion-calibre racer.“He just knows all the tricks.
