Aston Martin Announces Fernando Alonso Not S…read more.
Aston Martin has officially confirmed that Fernando Alonso will no longer be driving for the team in the upcoming Formula 1 season. The announcement, made on Friday, follows weeks of speculation about the two-time world champion’s future in the sport.
While the team has not fully disclosed the reason behind the decision, sources suggest it may be due to internal strategy shifts or Alonso’s own plans for the future. There has been growing talk in recent weeks about Alonso considering retirement or exploring roles beyond the F1 grid.
In his place, Aston Martin has named Felipe Drugovich as the new driver. Drugovich, the 2022 Formula 2 champion and the team’s current reserve driver, has been actively involved in car development and simulation duties. His promotion is seen as part of Aston Martin’s plan to invest in younger talent and prepare for future championship campaigns.
Team Principal Mike Krack praised Alonso for his valuable input and professionalism during his time with the team. “Fernando’s experience and drive helped move us forward. We’re grateful for his efforts and wish him success in whatever comes next,” Krack said.
This change marks a significant moment for Aston Martin, as they shift their focus toward long-term growth and performance. With Drugovich stepping into a full-time race seat, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as the team gears up for the new season, starting with preseason testing in Bahrain.
More updates on Alonso’s next steps are expected soon.
