Fernando Alonso Says F1 Rules Will Decide His Future

Two-time Formula 1 world champion Fernando Alonso, currently driving for Aston Martin and out of contract at the end of the season, says his decision on whether to continue racing beyond 2026 depends primarily on F1's regulatory direction rather than his car's performance. Alonso has scored only three points so far this season due to Aston Martin and Honda's struggles, though improvements arrived with a major car update in Hungary and Honda's Spec 2 power unit at Zandvoort. He stated that F1 must change to return to what drivers and spectators want, suggesting the sport's current formula is not the version he or fans grew up with.
