While its 43e anniversary is approaching (July 29), we wonder what the future of Fernando Alonso. Despite an “advanced” age in a sport where we find more and more twenty-somethings, the Bull of Asturias is today holding up, and brilliantly. No wonder thatAston Martin offered him a two-year contract in August 2022 which will take him until next December.

Now in his last year of involvement with the Greens, the double world champion will, as many of its counterparts in 2024, having to consider the question of its future. At his age, some would think above all, and logically, of retirement from sport. But Nando is a special pilot whose idea of ​​hanging up his suit doesn't cross his mind at the moment.

2025 in the back of Fernando Alonso's mind

Although he recently recognized thathe is one of the 19 drivers in the paddock to have understood that they will not be world champions this year as much Max Verstappen et Red Bull are ahead, Fernando Alonso could see himself continuing a little longer. Still with Aston Martin? The Iberian doesn't have the answer, but he knows he would still like to be on the grid next year.

« My future is not defined now, he reacted after winter testing in Bahrain. I know the position I find myself in is interesting, but I will wait a few races and see how I cope with such a long season. » If he remained evasive, the Spaniard nevertheless admitted that he hoped “ be in a very fast car in 2025. » One thing is certain, he does not lack determination.

Another not-innocent little sentence from Fernand!! If the W15 turns out to be faster or even much faster than the AMR24, Flavio will still discuss the matter with Toto during an upcoming coffee in Monaco because 2025 will only be a year of transition while waiting for the upheaval in 2026 ...
