Fernando Alonso ends his contract with Aston Martin at the end of 2024 and the man from Oviedo himself was recognized at a press conference to present the new Aston Martin AMR24 for the 2024 F1 season before considering what to do next year, he first had to decide if he wanted to continue competing in the ‘Great Circus’.
Before those words, the Team Principal of the green team, Mike Krack, next to the team’s technical director, Dan Fallows. After the announcement of Hamilton signing for Ferrari for 2025, Mike was asked if this move and the fact that Alonso was the only world champion available on the grid and a good option for Mercedes made it more difficult do the renewal of Fernando Alonso by Aston Martin. get
“Harder to keep him? The ‘Silly Season’ started earlier, it was expected. It was an exciting year full of speculations. But the truth is, we love Fernando Alonso, we have a good relationship, a good relationship as team members, and this relationship is based on trust. “Honestly, we would be happy to continue with Fernando in 2025 and in the following years,” Krack argued, later being asked if he had the confidence to renew his two pilots.
“We have two great drivers. And they are very good in the team. “We are very confident that we can achieve what we want, which is for both drivers to continue in 2025 and beyond.”Krack added.
Alonso must first decide whether or not to continue in F1
However, Alonso must first consider whether he wants to continue in F1 or not. This was clarified in his subsequent press conference. His decision depends on only one thing: knowing if he wants to continue with full commitment to an F1 project, leaving many things in his life, as he has been doing until now.
If he were to continue, the Oviedo man said he would prioritize the Aston Martin option and would only talk to Aston Martin first because he believes in his project, because he feels part of it and because of the trust the team has given him. him since he signed. And if he does not reach an agreement with the Silverstone team, he will let himself be loved, knowing that his position is perfect: “I have to wait a few races. I know my situation, which is very strange, because there only three world champions on the grid. And probably only one available for 2025 (referring to himself). So I’m in a good position.”
