Fernando Alonso announced on 29 September that he would return for the 2027 Formula 1 season. The two-time world champion said Aston Martin was preparing for a “moment of truth” that he expected to surprise people. RacingNews365 carried the remarks from an interview with BBC Sport. [1]
Alonso said he felt he and the team were still fast, even though he felt they had slipped out of the spotlight. His results offer context for that frustration: RacingNews365 reports that he has scored points in only two races in 2026, at Monaco and in the Netherlands. [1]
Alonso also said he still felt competitive. He would be content to watch races from home if he came to believe he had lost speed, reflexes or other abilities. [1]
