Fernando Alonso to stay with Aston Martin in 2027

Ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, Fernando Alonso has officially announced a contract extension with Aston Martin that will keep him with the team through the 2027 season. This renewal ensures the double world champion will embark on his remarkable 24th season in Formula 1.

With Alonso's previous deal set to expire at the conclusion of the 2026 campaign, his future had been a frequent topic of debate across the paddock. The official confirmation on September 29, 2026, put an end to all lingering uncertainty, cementing the veteran driver's place at Aston Martin.

Team Principal Mike Krack had previously hinted at Alonso's willingness to stay, while the driver himself underscored his unwavering competitiveness in a recent interview with BBC Sport, stating he feels just as fast as anyone else on the grid.
