Well so much for that rumor
Alonso signs multi-year extension at Aston Martin
Fernando Alonso has signed a multi-year contract extension to stay with Aston Martin’s Formula 1 team until at least the end of the 2026 season.
“Securing Fernando’s long-term future with Aston Martin Aramco is fantastic news,” Krack said. “We have built a strong working relationship over the last 18 months and we share the same determination to see this project succeed. We have been in constant dialogue over the last few months and Fernando has been true to his word: when he decided he wanted to continue racing, he talked to us first. Fernando has shown he believes in us, and we believe in him.
