In the announcement of the signing of Lewis Hamilton for Ferrari in 2025 and the march of Carlos Sainz of the group of Maranellotwo questions arise: Where will Carlos Sainz go? And the second: Who will Mercedes sign as a champion? For the latter, the 2009 F1 world champion, the British, has a clear answer. Jenson Button, who did not hesitate to bet on the Asturian driver as his best candidate for the steering wheel that will be free at Mercedes in 2025.
“I have a crush on my former teammate (they both met at McLaren in 2015 and 2016). I want to see Fernando Alonso there (at Mercedes)!” Jenson said, enthusiastically when referring to his partner and the reasons why he would make this decision.
“Alonso is 42 years old but he still has the hands. The hands are there! They are there! He drives racing cars every day… it’s a good alliance that will be good for both sides”the British argued.
Could Alonso be a candidate for the Mercedes seat?
The Spaniard reiterated that he is very happy to lead Aston Martin’s future project. He wants to lead him to become a winner with the great ambition and investment of Lawrence Stroll. Because of this, he repeated on many occasions that he wanted to continue with the green team. However, he said this before the Mercedes surprise happened. It remains to be seen whether this will change everything and whether or not the Spaniard wants to run as one of the candidates for one of the most coveted seats on the grid in a team that wants to win again, one of the best teams in F1.
