Alonso looks forward to Aston Martin 'farewell' as champion celebrates leaving F1 car behind
1+ hour, 47+ min ago (507+ words) Two-time champion Fernando Alonso has admitted that he is looking forward to saying 'farewell' to this year's F1 season and Aston Martin's 2025 car. It's been a difficult season for the Silverstone-based outfit, who are currently sat down in eighth in the constructors' championship, behind Haas and Racing Bulls. They've regressed over the past couple of seasons, and this year, Alonso has only managed to score 40 points from 22 race weekends, not once threatening the podium positions. That is despite the 44-year-old being in good form himself, out-qualifying team-mate Lance Stroll at all 22 grand prix weekends so far. In 2026, the team are hoping to take a step closer to the front of the pack, with new regulations sweeping into the sport, and the team having signed design legend Adrian Newey to their ranks. Their ultimate aim is to win the world championship, but…...

15+ hour, 45+ min ago (542+ words) Seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton has revealed that he is not looking forward to 2026, as the length of his Ferrari contract remains officially unknown. Hamilton has had a terrible first campaign in red and is yet to pick up a single grand prix podium, finding himself in a battle for sixth in the drivers' championship with 19-year-old rookie Kimi Antonelli as a result. At the Las Vegas Grand Prix, Hamilton qualified plum last - the first time that has happened on pure pace in his whole career - before then starting from P19 after Yuki Tsunoda opted to start from the pit lane. Hamilton did manage to make up places early on, but found himself stuck behind the Sauber of Nico Hulkenberg, unable to get close enough to challenge the German. He crossed the line in 10th, before the disqualifications of McLaren stars Lando Norris…...
This is the man who can stop Horner’s F1 return
23+ hour, 46+ min ago (445+ words) Andreas Seidl has been tipped to be the new favourite to claim the role of team principal with Aston Martin F1 team, according to reports in Italian media. Bombshell reports surfaced in the immediate aftermath of the Las Vegas Grand Prix that current Aston Martin CEO and team principal Andy Cowell could be set to lose his job after just a year in charge, with BBC Sport announcing that former Red Bull boss Christian Horner was in the running to take the role. These reports said that Cowell's potential departure would happen before the end of 2025, leaving the position vacant for the final two race weekends, with Aston Martin offering a statement to GPFans which read: "The team will not be engaging in rumour or speculation. The focus is on maximising performance in the remaining races and preparing for 2026." Now, Motorsport....
