Evasive Alonso teases reporters on his F1 future
MADRID: Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso teased reporters on the eve of his home Spanish Grand Prix on Thursday when asked if he had made a long-awaited decision on his future in Formula One.
Madrid – Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso danced around questions about his Formula One future during a press conference on Thursday, just before the Spanish Grand Prix. Despite a disappointing season in the new hybrid cars for Aston Martin, Alonso suggested he had not yet made a decision on his future in the sport. When pressed about a forthcoming announcement, Alonso responded with a non-committal "Not soon."
Furthermore, when questioned about why he was delaying, he added: "Because I think it's nice." The 45-year-old maintained his evasiveness, deflecting inquiries about possible pressure from team owner Lawrence Stroll regarding a vacant seat. Alonso did, however, acknowledge that other drivers were speaking to Stroll about a potential opening.
He indicated he hoped the rule changes in the upcoming season would make racing more enjoyable and satisfying. Alonso also revealed he was contemplating various options, including potentially transitioning to a different role within the Aston Martin team.
