Aston Martin have confirmed Fernando Alonso will stay with the team for the 2027 Formula 1 season. Autosport had reported that Alonso agreed terms to continue in Formula 1 for 2027, and the same report said Aston Martin is set to support a Dakar Rally programme as part of the arrangement.

Alonso, born on 29 July 1981, has entered 432 Formula 1 races and won 32 grands prix. He sits 17th in the 2026 drivers' championship on seven points.

Aston Martin has competed across eight active Formula 1 seasons from 1959 to 2026 and has yet to score a race win or a constructors' title. Alonso's extension keeps one of the grid's most experienced drivers in place for 2027.
