Fernando Alonso has revealed that Aston Martin's strategic focus on the upcoming Formula 1 seasons will significantly influence his decision to retire from the sport. Speaking ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix, Alonso expressed the importance of motivation and personal circumstances in making a career-defining choice.
The former two-time F1 champion, who left the sport in 2018 only to return in 2021, acknowledges the toll this challenging season has taken on him. With three incomplete races and no top-10 finishes, the 41-year-old racer's patience is wearing thin.
Despite enduring one of his toughest seasons, Alonso maintains hope in Aston Martin's collaboration with Adrian Newey, focusing on the 2026 rule changes. As Alonso approaches his 44th birthday, the urgency for a competitive car mounts, and the current season's performance could dictate his ultimate decision.
