I thought I read somewhere Alonso wasn't interested in promoting sugar energy drinks?
They do a sugar free version :wink:

Alonso is not going anywhere. He and Newey have waited forever to work together.

I also doubt Alonso is going to any other team. AM is his last project, after that its retirement.

Grok 2 said this:
"Fernando Alonso's explicit mention of not being interested in promoting sugar energy drinks occurred in 2018. According to various reports and his own statements, Alonso rejected offers from Red Bull, with one of the reasons being his lack of interest in promoting sugar energy drinks. This was highlighted during discussions around the Belgian Grand Prix in August 2018, where Alonso explained his decisions to turn down Red Bull offers over the years."

Maybe searching around August 26, 2018 would yield the quote.

It seems Max will be staying in the F1 for a very long time otherwise he wouldn't have bought a new bigger plane for longer distances.
This is his new 2 yo jet in the same colors but another registration number.
