The FIA has officially announced that Fernando Alonso will not compete in this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix, citing unforeseen circumstances behind his unexpected withdrawal. The news has come as a major surprise to fans and the Formula 1 community, especially given the significance of Alonso’s home race.
While the FIA’s statement did not provide specific details, it acknowledged that Alonso will be absent from the event at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Sources close to the team suggest the decision may be linked to a personal or health-related issue, though this remains unconfirmed.
Alonso’s absence is a blow to the Spanish Grand Prix, where he has consistently drawn large crowds and enjoyed strong local support throughout his career. The veteran Aston Martin driver, a two-time world champion, was expected to be one of the highlights of the weekend.
Aston Martin has not yet revealed who will replace Alonso for the race. However, reserve driver Felipe Drugovich is widely believed to be the frontrunner to take the seat.
In a brief statement, the FIA offered its support: “Fernando’s presence at his home Grand Prix is always special. We wish him the best and hope to see him back on the grid soon.”
More details are expected in the coming days as the team and governing body clarify the reasons behind the decision.
