Fernando Alonso may run his final Formula 1 race in Barcelona

Spanish two‑time world champion Fernando Alonso said the upcoming Catalonia Grand Prix could be his last Formula 1 outing at the Barcelona circuit. He explained that the event will alternate with Spa‑Francorchamps from next season, leaving Barcelona off the calendar, and that he will decide his future after the summer break.

Alonso, 45, qualified last on the grid for the first time in his 25‑year F1 career, an unprecedented result for the veteran driver. The poor performance reflected Aston Martin’s lack of competitiveness on a track where he has long been a fan favourite. The outcome has sparked questions about the team’s development direction and the driver’s motivation for the remainder of the season.
