We have a saying, "Where there's smoke, there's fire"... I think Alonso should sit down and think things through thoroughly, and then reverse whatever decision he's made. Because it's clear that his decisions haven't been that good so far. Of course, there's a time constraint. We don't know if Aston will be successful in 2 years or 5 years. But they have the facilities, the engineers, and the money. They have everything to be successful. As for Alphine, even the team itself doesn't have such expectations. They even gave up on their own engines. I think that's the worst of all.
Alonso can go there, but only to spend a few more years in the middle of the pack. The same thing might happen at Aston too. But there's also the possibility of another option at Aston. I saw a post online saying Ferrari is 6% behind Red Bull (in terms of engine power). But as you can see, Hamilton is right behind Russell and ahead of Red Bull.
Aerodynamics is for those who can't build engines.
