Fernando Alonso will continue with Aston Martin into 2025 and beyond his racing career.
Fernando Alonso has confirmed he did speak with “other” teams before re-signing with Aston Martin – but in the end it was an “easy” choice.
“I did speak with other people as well,” he confirmed to the media including PlanetF1.com. “I think it’s normal when you enter negotiations, you need to balance a little bit what is the market. “Maybe more time was needed, all these kinds of things. While in Aston, it was a clear desire to work together, which was the same that I had. That’s why it came very easy.”
Thursday’s announcement means Alonso has officially removed himself from F1’s silly season rumour mill, the Spaniard no longer having to face a barrage of questions about his future. “So yeah after three-four races as I made a decision to keep on racing, ready to sacrifice a few more years of my life on normal things, I’m happy to keep travelling, I feel fresh, I feel physically at the top, I feel motivated.
