Fernando Alonso, a Spanish driver, expressed his confidence in his ability to negotiate his position in Formula 1 for the year 2025. There are rumors linking him to the vacant seat at Mercedes, which will be left by Lewis Hamilton, who is moving to Ferrari. Alonso, who previously drove for Alpine and now drives for Aston Martin, had an exceptional performance last season and helped his team become a strong contender for podiums. Despite his commitment to Aston Martin, Alonso hinted that he is the only available F1 champion in the driver market, further fueling speculation about a possible move to Mercedes. During pre-season testing, Alonso stated that he is in a favorable position to decide his future, but wants to focus on the upcoming races before making any decisions. He also mentioned that the 2025 season will be the longest in Formula 1 history, with 24 races, and he wants to prioritize efficiency and finish the season with high energy. Alonso admitted that he was caught off guard by the timing of the news about Hamilton’s move to Ferrari, as he did not expect it until later in the year. He believes that both Ferrari and Mercedes had to make their announcements earlier than planned due to leaks and rumors. While other drivers, like George Russell, have received questions from various drivers about the possibility of joining them at Mercedes, Alonso has not been approached and chose not to comment on the possibility of joining the German team. He reiterated his position of repeatedly discussing his future and stated that he will give a consistent answer to the question.
