Fernando Alonso interested in racing in WEC with Aston Martin

Many fantasies were born following the announcement of the arrival ofAston Martin in the Hypercar category of the World ChampionshipEndurance of the FIA ​​in 2025 with a racing version of Valkyrie: which drivers will sit behind the wheel of the English prototype in competition?

Eyes inevitably turned to the pilots F1 of the brand, and especially on Fernando Alonso. The Spaniard knows the WEC and 24 Hours of Le Mans he who was world champion in the discipline and double winner of the Sarthoise classic during the 2018-2019 super-season. He then evolved with Toyota.

In comments relayed by RacingNews365, the double Formula 1 world champion with Renault (2005, 2006) was open to the possibility of racing the Valkyrie LMH. While temporizing expectations. “ Yes, but not now, replied the person concerned. This hasn't occurred to me for 2025. I love the Valkyrie. I should receive my copy (road version. Ed.) this summer, in July. I've been waiting for this for so long! It takes a year to deliver one. So why not ? If I drive for personal pleasure and then compete, that would be wonderful. »

Seeing Fernando Alonso in the WEC in 2025 with Aston Martin therefore seems utopian. Especially since the 42-year-old driver's contract with the Gaydon firm is coming to an end this season and his name has been linked in rumors in recent weeks to other Formula 1 teams, including Mercedes et Red Bull.
