Fernando Alonso has signed a contract extension with Aston Martin. The two-time F1 champion will remain at the team for at least the next two seasons.
Alonso won his titles with Renault in 2005 and 2006. He was absent for two years, 2019 and 2020, to compete in other series, including his participation in the Indianapolis 500. The Spaniard joined Aston Martin, from Alpine, to replace the German Sebastian Vettel, who then announced his retirement and now rumors are growing about a possible return to occupy the free position of George Russell's teammate at Mercedes. The 42-year-old Spaniard is currently competing in his second season in Lawrence Stroll's team, with the team currently fifth in the constructors' championship. The Iberian driver said: “I will give it my all as we continue our path to being a world champion team,” Alonso said in the announcement. “From the moment I joined the team in 2023 I have felt at home. In just 15 months we have already achieved a lot together, with some memorable podiums and battles”
