In 2015, at the age of 43, Alonso returned to McLaren, the team he previously raced alongside Lewis Hamilton during an intense 2007 season. Unfortunately, his McLaren stint didn’t provide him with a championship-winning car like in 2007 due to the troubled early years of Honda’s F1 project. Despite a final year in 2018 under Renault power, Alonso chose to leave McLaren, leading to a two-year hiatus. McLaren CEO Brown expressed regret for not being able to offer Alonso a more competitive car during his time with the team. Alonso continued his F1 career with Alpine in 2021 and then moved to Aston Martin in 2023, showcasing his enduring talent with podium finishes. Looking ahead, Aston Martin is preparing for a promising future with significant upgrades and potential partnerships, potentially establishing them as a competitive force in F1.
