Currently Fernando Alonso
Fernando Alonso has said his contract extends beyond his racing career, and despite his love for hyperbole, that’s probably accurate.
Aged 45 he is by some distance the oldest driver on the grid, but has shown no meaningful signs of decline. The real question is the package, which has been an absolute disaster from the start of 2026.
A major aerodynamic upgrade brought significant progress before the summer break. Now Honda is hoping for similar results with an improved power unit.
If it shows the potential to run at the front, Alonso will probably want to stay. But could Aston Martin look to entice Max Verstappen to take on another challenge? If Honda fails to deliver, then Aston may have to set its sights lower.
