Fernando Alonso has shown that he has still got it behind the wheel of the Aston Martin, but does he intend to stick around when the 2026 Madrid race happens?
Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali expressed uncertainty about Fernando Alonso’s racing future in 2026, when the new race in Madrid is scheduled to take place.

At 45 years old, Alonso could potentially set a record for the longest gap between two race wins if he triumphs in Madrid. Domenicali playfully remarked on the possibility of Alonso winning in Madrid, emphasizing the significance of the race in the capital city. The growing popularity of F1 in Spain, driven by the performances of Carlos Sainz and Alonso, has been a key factor in promoting the Madrid race.
