Alonso and Aston Martin: The Mission to Compete Before Retirement

Alonso Focused on Aston Martin’s Success Before Retirement

Fernando Alonso has expressed his commitment to take Aston Martin to the top before hanging up his helmet. Although he acknowledges that the path to success requires time, the Spanish driver is optimistic about the team’s future. Alonso, whose contract with Aston Martin ends in 2026, the year he will turn 45, is focused on ensuring the team achieves the desired competitiveness. Lawrence Stroll, the ambitious head of Aston Martin, has set his sights on the new Formula 1 regulations that will come into effect next season, hoping that the team will become a title contender. The team has secured an exclusive engine deal with Honda starting next season and, earlier this year, secured the services of legendary car designer Adrian Newey.

“We feel it’s very possible, for sure”

Alonso commented on the possibility of winning races again with Aston Martin. He highlighted the quality of the staff and the team’s facilities, stating that they have all the necessary tools to achieve success. The driver warned that in Formula 1 it takes time for everything to work perfectly, and that there are no magic solutions for success.

The athlete also pointed out that there is no guarantee that he will continue competing beyond 2026. Alonso emphasized that his mission is to shorten the time needed to achieve success, as he wants to enjoy that success at the wheel.
