Alonso looks forward to Aston Martin ‘farewell’ as champion celebrates leaving F1 car behind
Two-time champion Fernando Alonso is looking forward to bidding farewell to the 2025 F1 season and Aston Martin’s 2025 car due to a disappointing performance.
Aston Martin, currently in eighth place in the constructors’ championship, has struggled this season, with Alonso scoring only 40 points despite being in good form outqualifying his teammate Lance Stroll consistently.
For 2026, the team aims to improve with new regulations and the addition of design legend Adrian Newey; however, Newey suggests winning the championship may have to wait until 2027 at the earliest.
Alonso eyes the last two races of 2025 as celebratory, as he anticipates moving on from the 2025 car and the challenging season.
The Spaniard’s future in F1 remains uncertain, as he contemplates retirement if Aston Martin is competitive in 2026 but may stay if they struggle in the midfield, showcasing his remarkable longevity in the sport.
Alonso awaits the chance to fight for his 33rd career grand prix victory and potentially a third world title if Aston Martin can provide him with a competitive car under Newey’s direction.
