Yuki Tsunoda could become a contender for a move to Aston Martin, F1.com report.
Aston Martin will have Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll as their drivers for the upcoming season, with no changes to their lineup for 2024. However, with contracts expiring and new regulations coming into play in 2026, every team will be considering their future steps. One major change is that Honda will replace Mercedes as the engine supplier for Aston Martin from 2026, marking Honda’s return to Formula 1 full-time. This means Aston Martin will go from being a customer team to having a works engine when the Honda deal takes effect. There is speculation about the possible driver implications, with the question of whether Honda might want to bring their mentored and financially supported driver, Yuki Tsunoda, to Aston Martin. Tsunoda currently races for AlphaTauri alongside Daniel Ricciardo, and at just 23 years old, he represents a promising talent in F1. The influence of Honda at Aston Martin could potentially provide a new and intriguing option for Japan’s only current F1 driver.
