Alonso: I won’t let others "dictate my destiny" in F1
The Spaniard emphasized that he would first decide on his F1 future in 2025 before choosing his destination, with staying at Aston Martin being his priority. Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari has opened up a spot at Mercedes, while the talks of Max Verstappen’s potential departure from Red Bull could provide an intriguing opportunity for Alonso. He is firm on not relying on others to make decisions for him and will choose his path independently, guided by his own instincts. Alonso’s philosophy of taking ownership of his destiny is not age-dependent, citing his early move from Renault to McLaren at 24. He aims to make a decision on his future in the coming weeks but is currently focused on improving the current season’s performance. Staying with Aston Martin is his top choice if he continues in F1, expressing gratitude for the opportunity given to him by the team two years ago.
