It's breaking news that Fernando Alonso has signed an extension with Aston Martin, at a time when it seems more attractive options were available. Now Honda has subtly indicated that this was no accident.
Alonso is renowned for his tirelessness, perseverance and talent, but also for his bad decisions, so who knows, maybe he'll get lucky this time.
"Our very clear goal is to win a world championship. Our time will come from 2026 and, although we know it will be very difficult, we have already taken on this challenge with another team not long ago. Now we have set the same goal with Aston Martin, with Lawrence Stroll and Toshihiro Mibe, who have committed to fighting for the title in 2026. Of course, in reality it is not that simple and it will take time to put the project together, but I have no doubt that it will work. Together we will build. From Aston Martin's point of view, what is expected of us, and vice versa. It will be an honest relationship, so that together we can reach the level of a top team," emphasized Honda Racing Corporation President Koji Watanabe.
Can Fernando Alonso get that third place after all?
