Fernando Alonso’s Future at Aston Martin in Doubt: Will Carlos Sainz Replace Him?

Fernando Alonso’s future at Aston Martin is hanging in the balance as reports emerge of internal factions within the team pushing for his replacement with Carlos Sainz.

Despite a successful first season with the team, where Alonso scored eight podiums and finished fourth in the drivers’ championship, some at Silverstone are reportedly eager to see the back of the Spanish veteran. Sainz, who is set to leave Ferrari at the end of the year, has been identified as a potential replacement due to his strong start to the season with a win and two podiums.

With interest from top teams like Mercedes and Red Bull, Aston Martin could face stiff competition in securing Sainz’s services. However, sources suggest that the team owner, Lawrence Stroll, is considering bringing the Madrid-born racer on board to lead the team into the new F1 rules era from 2026.

Sainz, who had hoped to stay at Ferrari, is now exploring all his options and is in talks with multiple teams to secure a seat for next year. The Spaniard is eager to make a decision soon and is looking for the best opportunity for his future in Formula 1.

As the speculation continues to swirl around Alonso and Sainz, it remains to be seen whether Aston Martin will make a move to shake up their driver lineup for the upcoming seasons. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
