Fernando Alonso reveals terms to keep racing with Aston Martin in F1
Two-time Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso has outlined the conditions that would lead to him continuing to race with Aston Martin in the future. Despite winning titles in 2005 and 2006 with Renault, Alonso has not been in serious championship contention for over a decade. Aston Martin is banking on design guru Adrian Newey to deliver a championship-winning car for the 2026 regulations. Alonso’s contract with Aston Martin extends until the end of 2026, and he has suggested that next year could be his final season if the car performs well. With the recent news of Newey also becoming the team principal from 2026, it remains to be seen how this reshuffle will impact Alonso’s competitiveness in the upcoming season. Alonso has expressed his confidence in himself and the team’s potential for success, and he is committed to continuing to compete as long as he feels competitive, motivated, and physically capable. Despite the challenges faced in the current season, Alonso believes that the efforts put into developing the car for 2026 will make a significant difference in their performance.
