With this agreement, speculations about Fernando Alonso's move to other teams have come to an end, strengthening the bond between the Spanish driver and the British team.
After months of intense speculation about his future in Formula 1 and rumors linking him to Mercedes or Red Bull, the most experienced driver in the history of Formula One, Fernando Alonso, has reaffirmed his commitment to Aston Martin Aramco by signing a new multi-year contract.
Alonso, who joined Aston Martin from Alpine in 2023, has showcased his speed and skill on numerous occasions since his arrival. With six podium finishes in the first eight races of last season, the Spanish driver has maintained a solid performance in the current season, holding the fifth position behind Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren, and Mercedes with consistent top-ten results.

Having achieved eight podiums the previous year, a record-breaking feat for Aston Martin, Alonso remains one of the fastest drivers in the sport and a force to be reckoned with on the track.
Following the unexpected announcement of Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari for 2025, speculations arose regarding Alonso's future, particularly on whether he would continue in F1 and, if so, whether he would stay with Aston Martin.
All conjectures came to an end with the signing of this new contract that will see the Spanish driver compete until 2026, coinciding with the arrival of Formula 1 in his home country, Spain, with an urban circuit near Madrid. Alonso commits to a third season and beyond in the premier category of motorsport.
