Proud Mike Krack on ‘opportunity of a lifetime’: ‘Anything goes at Aston Martin’
Mike Krack was surprisingly appointed as Aston Martin’s new team boss in 2022. Under Lawrence Stroll’s wing, the calm Luxembourger is making a good impression in his role, but how does he view it himself? In an exclusive interview with GPblog.com, Krack proudly explains how a dream came true for him.
It was a busy Thursday morning for Mike Krack in Azerbaijan. The Aston Martin team boss addressed the written press and then the television crews. Logically, there is only one topic: the arrival of Adrian Newey. On the Tuesday before the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Aston Martin confirmed the technical head’s arrival with a grand presentation.
After spending half an hour answering questions about Adrian Newey’s arrival, Krack sat down with GPblog.com. Mike was calm, had another chat with the press officer and then moved across to the table. On a busy day, there was no time to waste, but the first question, which was not about Newey, put a smile on Mike’s face.
Mike Krack: “That’s a good question (laughs). It’s a fantastic job to do. I’ve been asked to do this. I was at BMW Motorsport before and when I got contacted, I thought it was for a technical role because I was in technical roles for many, many years. I was quite surprised that this role came up. But then I did not have to think long about it.”
“I knew about Lawrence [Stroll’s] ambitions. In many, many teams or many, many areas you go in and you get ‘this we don’t have or this we don’t do’ and with Lawrence it’s just full in. The main reason why I wanted to do this is that this is an opportunity of a lifetime. In such a structure, with that timing, I think it’s something that you have to just do.”
“Obviously on the racetrack, there is highs and lows and there will continue to be highs and lows. But overall, as I said it’s an opportunity of a lifetime. That’s the magic word about it. We have someone with a vision that does not stop. He just puts everything in to be successful. And that is very exciting to be part of
