Fernando Alonso will continue to race in Formula 1 with Aston Martin next season after the team announced that the two-time world champion has signed a fresh deal to keep him onboard into 2026 and the sport’s next regulatory cycle.
Would he have a chance for the championship at red bull? No.
McLaren isn’t even an option? Mercedes? Number 2 driver. No room at Ferrari. Aston best case scenario. Maybe they nail it.
Hate to say it but at his age he’s probably just glad he gets to keep racing. Even if he had to drive a backmarker I bet he’d just keep doing it for the hell of it.
Say what you want about Alonso but he is pretty die-hard for the sport.
I dunno, Kimi was like that for a long time up until he finally retired, but I get the sense being competitive is much more important to Alonso. The last couple of years he’s repeatedly said he’ll bow out once he feels he can’t perform anymore, and I believe him.

I mean, he did retire in 2018 when McLaren was a backmarker
Mate how can you say that they had the best GP2 engine on the grid.

A driver of Alonso’s reputation can go to almost every WEC team, demand a seat, and just get his wish.
