Aston Martin driver Fernando Alonso, 45, is considering retirement from Formula 1 due to the team's disappointing performance this season. Adrian Newey, a key figure within the sport, believes Alonso will continue racing.
The two-time world champion’s future has come into question following Aston Martin’s struggles after a promising start to the 2023 season. The team has failed to build on early momentum, leading Alonso to contemplate stepping away from F1.
However, Adrian Newey expressed confidence in Alonso's continued participation. According to Yahoo Sports, Newey stated he is “pretty confident” that Alonso will remain in Formula 1. While the source does not elaborate on *why* Newey feels this way, it suggests a belief that Alonso’s passion for the sport and competitive drive will outweigh his frustration with Aston Martin's current form.
The report highlights Alonso’s age – 45 – as a factor in his contemplation of retirement. Despite his experience and skill, the physical demands of Formula 1 racing are significant, and many drivers retire in their late 30s or early 40s.
