Fernando Alonso assina novo contrato com a Aston Martin apesar da especulação sobre a atenção da Mercedes.

Fernando Alonso ends speculation about his future by signing a contract extension with Aston Martin, putting an end to rumors of a move to Mercedes. The Spanish driver was considered a potential candidate for the vacant seat at the Silver Arrows team in 2025, but he has decided to stay with Aston Martin. The team had previously stated that Alonso was their top priority, and the 42-year-old driver has now confirmed that he will continue racing for them until at least the end of the 2026 season.

Aston Martin team principal, Mike Krack, expressed his joy at Alonso’s decision to extend his contract. He described it as “fantastic news” for the team and emphasized the strong bond that has been formed between Alonso and the British team over the past 18 months. Krack also praised Alonso’s commitment and hunger for success, stating that he is driving better than ever.

In addition to Alonso’s contract extension, Aston Martin has also reached an agreement with Honda for exclusive power unit supply starting in 2026. This means Alonso will be driving for the team during their first year as an official Honda team. Krack expressed his excitement for the future and the potential for more success with Alonso, especially with the new regulations coming into effect in 2026.

Aston Martin has shown significant improvement in their performance recently, bouncing back from a slump at the end of the 2023 season. This means Alonso will have plenty of opportunities to showcase his skills and compete at a high level in the upcoming seasons. Only time will tell if his decision to stay with the British team was the right one.
