Alonso: Aston Martin first option on F1 future amid Mercedes links
“The F1 driver market has been shaken up by Lewis Hamilton’s surprise move to Ferrari, creating a vacancy at Mercedes, and Fernando Alonso has been linked to the seat. Alonso, however, states that his priority is Aston Martin, but he still needs to decide if he wants to continue racing in F1 beyond 2025. Although he loves F1, he also enjoys driving in general and would be happy in any other form of motorsport. He acknowledges that at his age, he needs to consider his private life as well. Should he not stay with Aston, other teams may find him attractive due to his performance last year. Ultimately, the deciding factor will be his willingness to commit to the workload required at the top level.”
