Fernando Alonso

Two-time champion Fernando Alonso is the grid's great survivor — as fast and as cussedly competitive in his forties as drivers half his age. Few have ever read a race or exploited a car's limits better, and his motivation has never dimmed.

At Aston Martin he is the on-track leader of an ambitious project that, for 2026, pairs a works Honda power unit with a car shaped by the legendary designer Adrian Newey. If that combination delivers, Alonso is perfectly placed to fight for wins — and perhaps a long-awaited third title.
