Fernando Alonso Eyes Third Formula 1 Title

Fernando Alonso, the 43-year-old Spaniard, remains hopeful of winning a third Formula 1 World Championship, despite having not won a race in 11 years. He believes that 2026 might present his best opportunity, especially with the arrival of renowned car designer Adrian Newey at Aston Martin, who will begin his tenure in March 2025. Alonso acknowledges that while the upcoming 2025 season will be challenging, he still dreams of success in F1, stating, 'F1 is for dreamers, probably, because anything can happen.' New regulations in 2026 are expected to significantly change the competitive landscape, enhancing Alonso's chances. He indicated that 2026 could also be his final season, as his contract expires then, and he feels the weight of high expectations. Alonso's optimism is fueled by the recent advancements at Aston Martin, including Newey's expertise and a strong team infrastructure.
