VOTE: Who’s more likely to retire from F1 first – Lewis Hamilton or Fernando Alonso?
There is a real possibility of losing Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton from F1 due to their respective team struggles by 2026.
Both drivers are F1 legends, with Hamilton being the most successful driver in F1 history, and Alonso holding impressive records.
Hamilton will be entering his 20th season and Alonso his 23rd in 2026, but both are set to be out of contract by the end of the year.
Alonso, with a three-and-a-half-year age advantage over Hamilton, might retire first, especially if Aston Martin doesn’t provide a competitive car.
Hamilton needs a strong 2026 season to secure his future in F1, especially with younger drivers like Oliver Bearman potentially vying for his seat.
