Fernando Alonso does not close the door on Aston Martin's WEC program

43 years old, Fernando Alonso currently has a contract with the stable of Formula 1 byAston Martin until the end of the 2026 season. A lease that could be the last for the double world champion, who will have the opportunity to work for the first time in his career with Adrian Newey. Asked about his desire to continue or not after 2026, Alonso delivered one of the rather cryptic answers of which he has the secret…

"I will drive in 2026, I will drive after 2026 as well. In Formula 1 or in other categories. If I don't drive in Formula 1 I will be with the Aston Martin team in one way or another, so I will enjoy this future."

We can therefore imagine seeing the Spaniard return to WEC, where he participated in the 2018-2019 super season with Toyota, winning the title of World ChampionEndurance. The one who joined Lawrence's stable Stroll at the start of the 2023 season does not rule out the possibility of driving the Valkyrie in the future, which will be entered in the WEC from next year. After acknowledging receipt of the road version, Fernando Alonso could therefore drive the racing version…

" Why not ", he replied when asked if he could drive in Aston Martin's endurance program. “The Le Mans program is taking shape, with a start planned for next year, and maybe in 2027, 2028 and 2029 I will be there!”

One thing is for sure, don't talk about retirement to Fernando Alonso, it's a word banned from his vocabulary for the moment!
