Alonso's Future in Focus: F1 Champion Explores Options Beyond Aston Martin

Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso is actively showcasing his skills on the brink of the new season emphasizing his availability for the 2025 season amid Lewis Hamilton’s surprise move to Ferrari. While Aston Martin expresses interest in extending his contract Alonso seems in no rush stating he needs time to decide on his F1 future.

The 42 years old aims to commit to a project with championship potential and has not ruled out exploring opportunities beyond Aston Martin possibly at Mercedes. There’s speculation that Mercedes’ Plan A involves young driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli but Alonso could be a Plan B if Antonelli isn’t deemed ready.

Alonso’s determination to secure another championship even at his age challenges the traditional view of F1 drivers’ competitiveness in their forties.
