Spanish journalist Carlos Miquel suggested that Fernando Alonso's future in Aston Martin could determine if Max verstappen even considers a change to Silverstone's team in 2027.
With the technical reestablishment of the F1 that will come in 2026 and the teams are referred accordingly, the window for a starting summer exchange can less affect public rumors and more about Alonso's own call on his career. If Aston Martin begins in 2026 as a real front-corredor, the question of those who drive them in 2027 becomes much more complicated.
The recent return of the form of Red Bull has made the problem more urgent. After a mid -season immersion, the team has bounced off with updates that produced victories in Monza and Baku and a P2 in Singapore, keeping Verstappen in the title struggle. However, the change of rule of 2026 restores the order of the championship and opens opportunities for teams that have their interpretation and correct infrastructure.
This is precisely what the owner of Aston Martin Lawrence Stroll has created with a new factory, a fresh wind tunnel, the recruitment of Adrian Newey and a Honda supply for the Energy Unit. These movements aim to put Aston Martin in conversation from the first day of new regulations.
Miquel framed the situation blatantly (via Direct formula):
“Nothing is completed, but maybe this possibility is in the air. It will be Fernando Alonso who decides (if Aston Martin leaves).”
Internal, the Aston Martin project Is being treated as long term. Currently, both Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll will stay with Aston Martin until 2026, when the team's Honda Works collaboration begins.
Alonso himself has publicly praised the changes and cited that the arrival of Adrian Newey as significant, Say -— “makes me feel very safe” about the technical management of the team. From Aston Martin's point of view, having a tried leader like Alonso at the Wheel, who also guides the entry of NEWEY, both stabilizes the engineering program and increases the team's profile between sponsors and potential drivers.
During the immersion of Red Bull in the beginning of the year there was Various reports that link Max verstappen to Mercedes. The team director, Toto Wolff, even confirmed that debates were made with the Dutchman, who is under a Red Bull contract until 2028.
“Will be my last year” – Fernando Alonso considers 2026 as possibly his last year to F1
At the age of 44, Fernando Alonso continues to act at a significantly high level. Recently passed the time sheets to Singapore FP1. However, he is realistic about the time he can continue. The focus of Adrian Newey focuses focus on the preparation of the car of 2026, and Espanyol has been clear that in 2026 it is their last real opportunity to pursue the best results.
Speaking As a.com In September about the change of regulation, Alonso said:
“ I know it is my last opportunity. It is the differentiating factor. I saw that the other rule changes as a change, in the hope that it would go well and that my team would interpret the rules properly and would have a fast car. But this is different because it is the last change of rule I will experience and it is the last opportunity to try to win another great, enjoying the good moments, getting the podium and fighting for the championship. ''
When asked about 2026 his last season added:
“It depends on how I feel next year, how I feel physically and mentally. But I don't know. I don't have a clear idea right now. If the car goes well, there is a good chance that it is my last year.”
Fernando Alonso has also shared his plans To keep it in my time, as a driver. If it acts well by 2026, the profile and market value of any seat in Aston Martin increases, and does so by maintaining the right to move away from its own terms.
