Title: Alonso stays at Aston Martin & signs until 26 for F1 team.
Post by: John S on April 12, 2024, 02:50:28 PM

Now that's one more piece of the driver market sorted, since Fernando is staying for new era cars one more team off the list for Sainz - or is it? 

Anyone think Papa Stroll might replace his own son with another Spaniard?

Or, maybe Pops will tire of it, sell out to Mario & kin and Andretti will have instant grid access with Alonso as a driver.

Hey, I can dream, can't I?  ;)

Is Alonso in it for just the money now or does he genuinely believe Aston Martin is ascendant?  Or does he enjoy a guarantee of being better than his teammate?

Is that a rhetorical question Jeri? Seems plausible that all that & more could apply.  :D

Unless of course Sainz gets the second seat.  :DD

Would Aston Martin want two Spanish drivers?
