Fernando Alonso signed a new multi-year contract with Aston Martin, the longest of his career, taking him into his mid-40s.

While Alonso sees himself racing for the next few years, he recognizes that he may need to evaluate if he is not performing at his best.
Retirement was never a realistic option for Alonso, who plans to continue racing even after his Formula 1 career, possibly in other series like Dakar.
He is confident in his abilities and does not foresee retirement in the near future, especially seeing his fellow driver Lewis Hamilton still competitive at age 40.
