The …pill of youth wants to show that he has “swallowed” o Fernando Alonso, who, despite his 42 years, signs new contracts with his team – who knows, he might even be flirting with another team! – since the Aston Martin recently announced that he will extend his contract for another two years!
This means that the Spanish driver will continue to race in both 2025 and 2026, when the new technical regulations of the sport will apply, bringing significant changes to the cars. So go ahead for Alonso at 45, although he says he doesn’t know if he can keep up with F1’s demanding schedule, with grands prix added all the time – for now Formula 1‘s grueling 24 GP schedule looks set to remain unchanged. !
Alonso aims to reunite with his former team, Honda, which will begin an engine supply partnership from the Japanese to Aston Martin F1.
In particular, the huge popularity of two-time world champion Fernando Alonso, who continues to race in Formula One at the age of 42, helped establish the Spanish grand prix in the past. Both Alonso and Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz, born and raised in Madrid, are two of the sport’s most popular drivers.
Alonso won the world championship in 2005 and 2006 and is credited with the big boom in F1’s popularity in Spain, which as usual favored motorcycle racing!
And because there is a lot of talk about the grueling schedule in Formula 1, the institution announced much earlier than the established appointment, which was at the end of the season, the 2025 calendar, which will again include 24 grands prix. In fact, in 2025 Formula 1 will celebrate its 75th anniversary (the first grand prix was held in 1950 in Britain). As shown in the new calendar next year, the premiere of the championship returns to Melbourne, and not in the Middle East – as has been the case in recent years – on March 16, 2025. The last match of the year remains fixed, which will be in Abu Dhabi, on December 7 . However, 2025 will be the same, without changes to the tracks, since they remain the same!
And while Formula 1 has the longest schedule in its history, drivers continue to complain and grumble about the grueling and mostly grueling calendar. The reason, the round trips, the frequent changes of continents in a very short period of time combined with the equally tiring time zone changes for their bodies, which they are not given the opportunity to adapt to!
