On Thursday afternoon Aston Martin ended speculation about the two-time F1 world champion's future with the team by announcing a multi-year contract extension for the Spaniard, tying him to the Silverstone outfit until the end of 2026.
Alonso's contract was up for renewal this year, which prompted extensive speculation about the 42-year-old’s future as Red Bull and Mercedes also have seats up for grabs amid a wildly open driver market.
