The two Aston Martin drivers worked together over the team radio in Baku. Fernando Alonso also provided distance guidance to Lance Stroll during the race.
We were able to witness some interesting conversations while listening to the radio broadcast of Aston Martin at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Sunday. Through an excellent first lap, Lance Stroll moved up to seventh behind Fernando Alonso, and then messaged his teammate in DRS distance from him: “Tell Fernando I won’t attack. We play the same game.” The Spaniard picked up the broadcast and indicated that their plan was going well. “The endearment is already starting (in Hamilton). It’s only a matter of time, we’ll get over it,” replied the two-time world champion, who would have overtaken his former teammate on lap ten if he hadn’t turned into the pit lane.
After the restart that followed the safety car came the team’s new game. Alonso was already fourth at that time, and Stroll was sixth behind Carlos Sainz. The veteran tried to help with advice. “Tell Lance what setting I am currently using for brake force distribution! I think it would be a great help.” asked his engineer.

“If you find something in the car that you didn’t spot at the strategy meeting, we’ll share it on the radio right away. Everything is working perfectly at the moment and that’s our strength. That’s why we’re second in the Constructors’ Championship, because we only think about the team.”

In the pre-season, however, he confirmed that he was also with the team to help Stroll’s development, and that he would be happy if the underrated Canadian, in his opinion, was a champion with the Greens in years to come, advice would help him in this.
Aston Martin continues to maintain its second position as a manufacturer, ahead of Mercedes and Ferrari. Their team manager, Mike Crack, tries to keep the ball down. “It’s important to be confident, but you shouldn’t be arrogant. We have to remember that we are fighting big teams who are used to working so fast. We must first prove that we can. It’s good to fight with them, but we still have to make efforts to be We can keep up this pace during the season.” Luxemburger said.
