Alonso is never demotivated
"Days like here in Jerez are very, very important for me and to get ready for Bahrain," explained the two-time world champion. "It's a fact that I try always to give my maximum. I'm never demotivated. I need to make sure that I give 100%. I'm ready for the next challenge. This is a very special opportunity for me with this team and I see in this project winning one."
Aston Martin will unveil the AMR23 on Monday 13 February at its new factory in Silverstone. The car launch can be watched live via a livestream from the team, which will be available via GPblog. The team promises that fans will not be disappointed: not just the livery, but the real car for the 2023 F1 season will be revealed.
