FIA President defends Fernando Alonso's career autonomy
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem has commented on the future of Fernando Alonso, stating that the Spanish driver should be allowed to decide his own retirement based on his own terms and success rather than being forced out by team circumstances. This comes amid discussions regarding Aston Martin's current performance.
In response to FIA developments, Honda manager Shintaro Orihara expressed satisfaction with recent concessions provided by the FIA, including additional dyno hours and budget flexibility, which are intended to support the manufacturer's development toward the 2027 season.
Aston Martin team principal Mike Krack maintained a neutral stance regarding the FIA President's comments. Krack emphasized that the team and Honda are focused on the existing technical framework and the established roadmap for the 2027 and 2028 engine regulations.
