Fernando Alonso addresses his future at Aston Martin

Fernando Alonso has officially addressed the noise surrounding his future, shutting down talk of a departure from Aston Martin. Despite a difficult 2026 season that has yielded only a single point from his tenth-place finish in Monaco, the 44-year-old remains fully committed to the project at Silverstone.

Speaking ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix, the two-time World Champion made it clear that he will not be making any decisions until the summer break in August. Alonso, who has long been the subject of speculation due to his expiring contract, dismissed any suggestion that he is considering a move to a rival squad.

"I will not stop now because I don't feel uncompetitive," said Alonso. He emphasized that his loyalty to the team transcends his role as a driver, stating, "I want to win a World Championship with Aston Martin, with or without driving." For a man who has tackled the Indianapolis 500, the Dakar Rally, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, his hunger to fix the team's current underperformance is as sharp as ever.
