In a major development ahead of the upcoming Formula 1 season, Aston Martin has officially confirmed the replacement of veteran driver Fernando Alonso. The announcement was made early Friday, putting an end to weeks of speculation surrounding the Spaniard’s future with the team.
Although the exact reason for Alonso’s exit has not been fully disclosed, team sources cite a combination of strategic changes and possible personal considerations. Rumors had been circulating in the paddock about Alonso’s potential retirement or a shift to a different role within motorsport, possibly outside Formula 1.
Aston Martin revealed that Alonso’s seat will be filled by young and promising driver Felipe Drugovich, the team’s reserve and test driver. Drugovich, the 2022 Formula 2 champion, has been closely involved with the team’s simulator work and development programs. His promotion marks a significant step in the team’s long-term vision to build a younger, more dynamic lineup.
Team Principal Mike Krack expressed gratitude to Alonso for his contributions over the past seasons, highlighting his role in elevating the team’s competitiveness. “Fernando brought unmatched experience and insight to Aston Martin. We wish him all the best in his next chapter,” Krack stated.
The move signals a new era for Aston Martin, as they continue to push for podium finishes and long-term championship contention. Fans are eager to see how Drugovich performs under the spotlight, as the team prepares for preseason testing in Bahrain.
Further details on Alonso’s future are expected soon.
