Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, Aston Martin today confirmed that Alonso will remain with the team after this season as well.
Here to stay. Aston Martin confirmed today that Alonso is staying with the team. It was speculated that he could go to Red Bull or Mercedes. And conversely, there was also speculation that Carlos Sainz could replace him. However, the Aston Martin driver line-up will not change next year.
Alonso will stay with the team from Silverstone until at least the end of 2026 – so he will also experience the entry into a new era with him. In 2026, there will be new power units, new cars and one more major change for Aston Martin – the switch to Honda. Alonso will thus drive again with a Honda engine.
“Securing Fernando’s long-term future with Aston Martin Aramco is fantastic news,” said team principal Mike Krack.
“We have built a strong working relationship over the past 18 months and share the same commitment to making this project a success.”
Fernando has shown that he believes in us and we believe in him.
“We’ve been in constant communication over the past months and Fernando kept his word: when he decided he wanted to continue racing, he turned to us first. Fernando has shown that he believes in us and we believe in him.”
“Fernando is hungry for success, driving better than ever, fitter than ever and totally committed to making Aston Martin Aramco a competitive force.”
“This multi-year agreement with Fernando will take us through to 2026, when we will start working with Honda’s factory power unit. We look forward to creating more incredible memories and achieving more successes together.”
