His decision to hire Alonso is understandable, for he brings a wealth of experience and is still one of the quickest on the grid, despite his age.

His second spell at McLaren - when they were hamstrung by their Honda engine - was excruciating and he publicly taunted the team for their poor performances.
The disintegration of that relationship (again) was staggering as he drove a wedge between the Japanese company and McLaren as the team environment went toxic.
That's something Aston cannot afford to happen - no matter how much money Stroll throws at the project in the form of recruitment and their new multi-million pound factory.
