Alonso ‘considers’ huge move to close F1 chapter
Despite approaching his mid-40s, two-time champion Fernando Alonso is still focused on making big plans in his career, expressing his desire to remain competitive with Aston Martin in Formula 1.
Alonso, now 43, remains driven to help Aston Martin contend for championships, especially with the team’s recent acquisition of F1 design guru Adrian Newey.
The Spaniard’s contract with Aston Martin runs until the end of 2026, but his future with the team beyond next year depends heavily on the new regulations and driver market dynamics.
Alonso has a history of taking breaks from F1, having returned to race for Alpine in 2021 after leaving the grid in 2018, during which he competed in other FIA events like the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Dakar Rally.
With his Dakar Rally experience alongside navigator Marc Coma standing out, Coma revealed Alonso’s interest in returning to the legendary event once he closes the Formula 1 chapter.
Coma, reflecting on their time together, shared that Alonso plans to make a Dakar comeback post-F1, while highlighting the challenging nature of the event and his own desires to participate in such projects.
