Carlos Sainz to replace Fernando Alonso in Aston Martin? – F1journaal.be

Will we see Carlos Sainz replace Fernando Alonso at Aston Martin next year? At this point, it is still unclear whether Alonso will stay with Aston Martin, but Carlos Sainz is said to be high on the British racing team’s wish list.

The so-called ‘silly season’ is heating up because ever since it was announced that Lewis Hamilton will be moving from Mercedes to Ferrari at the end of this year, there have been many rumours. Fernando Alonso also plays an important role in the rumors because the Spaniard is out of contract.

Alonso makes it clear that he prefers Aston Martin, but he is also often linked with Mercedes and Red Bull. If that happens, Aston Martin will have to find a replacement for Alonso. According to some, Alonso is threatening to leave or even quit F1 to increase his ‘contract value’.

Within Aston Martin they would like Alonso to stay, but many groups within Aston Martin would also prefer Carlos Sainz. And so Carlos Sainz is in the spotlight more than ever.

If Carlos Sainz were to drive for Aston Martin, he would have genuine No. 1 status within the team for the first time in his F1 career. In addition, Aston Martin is fully committed to the 2026 F1 season, when major rule changes will come into force.

Can’t wait to see what the future holds…
