FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem has pledged to prevent Fernando Alonso from leaving Formula 1. The president made his stance clear on Friday, just a day after the 45-year-old Spaniard indicated he is contemplating a switch to another series or a non-driving role next season. Ben Sulayem made these remarks during the New Economy Forum in Madrid.
Alonso has expressed discontent with his team's performance and the new F1 regulations. At the moment, the two-time world champion has only three points after 13 races. Ben Sulayem, who has already engaged with Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll, aims to bolster the team's performance. He emphasized that Alonso's departure would not be "acceptable" as it would be "unacceptable" to see a champion leave the sport due to circumstances beyond their control.
