Krack: 'Lawrence wants more, and so we have to deliver more'

Mike Krack has claimed that Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll is not satisfied until the team wins a race. Speaking to Formula1.com Krack states that Stroll has made his ambitions clear from the start.
Aston Martin is experiencing a particularly strong season this year. The team, which finished only seventh last year, is currently second and has been on the podium every race of the season. The changes during the winter break and the acquisition of Fernando Alonso have obviously paid off, but according to Krack, it is still not enough for team owner Lawrence Stroll.
"The team's mission is very clear ," Krack said. "Lawrence has not been having any delay in telling us ‘When are we going to win the next one?’ Obviously, he is happy we have made a step, but this is not enough for his ambitions. The good thing with Lawrence is that you know immediately where you stand. He wants more, and we will have to deliver more."
Red Bull remains out of Aston Martin's reach for now
That first win does not seem to be within reach for now. Aston Martin has still had to concede to Red Bull, and in Australia Mercedes was also able to duel better than in previous races. However, the team will come up with several upgrades over the next few races to close the gap to Red Bull.
