Fernando Alonso endured a challenging start to the new year with Aston Martin as a decision over his future hangs in the air.
Fernando Alonso, the most experienced driver in F1 history, is entering his 23rd season this year, further extending his long-standing record.
Despite his pursuit of returning to the top of the podium and fighting for another championship, Alonso faces challenges this year due to Aston Martin’s tough start to the season.
