Fernando Alonso longs for ‘real Formula 1’ as he ponders future

Fernando Alonso remains uncertain about his future in Formula 1, despite recent improvements in Aston Martin's performance following a new Honda engine upgrade. The 45-year-old Spanish driver, who has been a vocal critic of the recent engine regulations, expressed his concerns during a recent interview. Alonso stated, "This is not the Formula 1 we grew up with.

This is not the Formula 1 that we all want, drivers, spectators." He acknowledged that change is necessary for the future of the sport, but he hopes to contribute to the next set of regulations. Despite the team's positive results, Alonso emphasized that his decision for the 2027 season will not be solely based on the car's performance.

For him, it is more about the regulations and the essence of the sport. Alonso recently secured his first points of the season, a ninth-place finish at the Dutch Grand Prix, which he considered a boost for the team's progress.
