Aston Martin confirms Alonso and Stroll for 2027 F1 season
Aston Martin has officially confirmed that Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll will remain the team's driver lineup for the 2027 Formula 1 season. The announcement ends months of speculation regarding Alonso's future, particularly following a challenging period for the Silverstone-based team.
Alonso, who will be 46 in 2027, cited his passion for racing and his belief in the team's long-term project as primary reasons for his decision. Despite the team's recent struggles in the constructors' standings and technical difficulties with their current power unit, Alonso expressed confidence in the team's leadership, facilities, and upcoming partnership with Honda.
Lance Stroll also signed a contract extension, ensuring the team maintains its most experienced driver pairing. Team owner Lawrence Stroll emphasized that the continuity of this duo is a strategic move to leverage their combined experience as the team continues to invest heavily in its technical infrastructure and Silverstone headquarters.
