Aston Martin Reportedly Wants To Retain Alonso With Multi-Year Deal

According to a recent report, Aston Martin wants to retain Fernando Alonso with a multi-year deal even beyond the season 2025.

An article from motorsport.com suggested that factions within Aston Martin were interested in replacing Fernando Alonso with Carlos Sainz from the 2025 season.

This came as a bit of a surprise after the Aston Martin team principal, Mike Krack, said it is no secret they want to continue with Alonso and are waiting for his decision.

This view is also supported by a report from motorsport-total.com, which suggested the British team wants to ideally retain the Spanish matador even beyond the 2025 season- which means the team is offering him a multi-year deal.

The main selling point for the Spaniard are apparently the Honda power units (PUs) that the British team will have from 2026.

This means that Aston needs to improve rapidly to maximize their chances of keeping the 42-year-old within their team. Krack added:
