Fernando Alonso set for Aston Martin stay

BBC Sport reported Fernando Alonso will remain with Aston Martin for at least one more year, with the Spaniard sitting 17th on seven points in 2026.

BBC Sport reported that Fernando Alonso is set to remain in Formula 1 with Aston Martin for at least one more year. The supplied material does not include an official announcement, so the contract update remains a reported move rather than a confirmed one.

Alonso, a Spanish driver born on 29 July 1981, has entered 432 Formula 1 races and won 32 of them. In the 2026 drivers' championship, he stands 17th on seven points.

The reported extension would keep Aston Martin’s current line-up continuity in place for longer. Aston Martin is a British constructor with eight active Formula 1 seasons across 1959-2026, and it has yet to record a race win or a constructors' championship title.
