Alonso extends Aston Martin deal to stay in F1 for 2027

Fernando Alonso will continue racing in Formula 1 in 2027 after agreeing a new contract with Aston Martin. The new deal confirms he will stay with the team for at least one more year and brings an end to recent uncertainty over whether he would remain on the grid.

Alonso had been facing questions about his future because his previous Aston Martin contract had been due to expire at the end of the 2026 season. Across his comments on the decision, Alonso said racing is his life and indicated he still feels competitive enough to continue.

Aston Martin will also keep Lance Stroll for the 2027 campaign. With both of the team's race seats now confirmed, reports said four seats remain to be filled on the 2027 Formula 1 grid.
