Aston Martin ‘guaranteed’ to win F1 title by THIS date
A former F1 racer predicts Aston Martin will start winning titles within the next three years due to their ambitious investments in talent and facilities. The team has acquired renowned designer Adrian Newey and other top personnel, signed Fernando Alonso until at least 2026, and is preparing for upcoming regulation changes.
Juan Pablo Montoya, another former racer, believes Aston Martin could become contenders by 2026 or 2027, with Honda’s support as a key factor. Speculation surrounds Alonso’s retirement plans after 2026, depending on the team’s competitiveness and his desire for race wins.
Despite being 44 years old, Alonso’s skills remain sharp, as seen in out-qualifying his younger teammate consistently. He may retire if Aston Martin provides a competitive car in 2026, but could continue if they struggle for top results.
In other F1 news, Lewis Hamilton recently admitted to needing a racing break, reflecting the demanding nature of the sport on its top athletes.
