Alonso to join Aston Martin in 2023

Two-time champion Fernando Alonso is to drive for Aston Martin from 2023 on a multi-year contract.

The 41-year-old Spaniard, who has iraced for Alpine since 2021, will replace Sebastian Vettel following the German’s retirement at the end of the season.

Alonso, F1 champion in 2005 and 2006, returned to the sport in 2021 after a two-year hiatus racing elsewhere.

The move has come as a surprise within F1 – and is a blow to Alpine, where Alonso has been outperforming team-mate Estasban Ocon this season, although he is behind the Frenchman in the championship as a result of a series of reliability problems.
