Fernando Alonso is by far the most experienced driver in F1 – however he could add considerably to that tally before he retires.
Fernando Alonso has hinted at the possibility of staying in F1 for several more years following Adrian Newey’s decision to join Aston Martin. Newey, a highly esteemed car designer with 25 world championships, will begin working with Aston Martin in March next year after leaving Red Bull. Alonso, who has extended his contract with Aston Martin, plans to race when the new technical regulations take effect in 2026, under the leadership of Newey in building the Aston Martin challenger. Discussing Newey’s impact on his future in F1, Alonso mentioned his thoughts while emphasizing that the decision on his longevity in the sport will be made collectively with the team, including Lawrence Stroll and Adrian. Despite not achieving his 33rd career victory yet, Alonso remains optimistic about his chances with Newey’s contributions, expressing eagerness to drive the fast cars created by the renowned designer and enjoying the journey with Aston Martin regardless of the timing of their arrival.
