Fernando Alonso usually doesn’t mind being at the centre of the rumour mill – so, even if it was baseless, why did the speculation of a 2024 move to Red Bull get to him?
Fernando Alonso expressed his discontent with rumors of him leaving Aston Martin for Red Bull, promising that there would be consequences, without specifying who or what those consequences would be. This unexpected speculation seemed to upset Alonso enough for him to follow through with his threat, which might surprise some people. While there is speculation that Alonso deserves the best car in Formula 1, he might have a problem with being linked to Red Bull if it’s not actually possible and if it’s being used for attention on social media or websites. Alonso is known for using the media to his advantage but dislikes it when things are taken out of context or are inaccurate. He sees those who use his name or disrespect him and his team to gain followers or attention as not behaving professionally. The origin of this rumor was a tweet from Spanish journalist Albert Fabrega, but it’s possible that others have upset Alonso and Aston Martin just as much, if not more. The source and intention behind this rumor could range from innocuous hypothetical suggestions to deliberately stirring up trouble at Aston Martin. Regardless, it’s understandable why Alonso and Aston Martin would take issue with it.
