Silly season 2025-2026

Well if Nando is leaving AM for Alpine it can mean only one thing... AM will have a winning car next year.

Fernando will stay. He has a newey car now and he knows next years one will be there. And possibly the one in 2028. I see him calling it quits after that. (maybe joing christian horner to be an owner driver of BYD team?)

I hope you are right! I'd love to see him on the podium again! This year an 8th for Hamilton, next year 3rd for Alonso... A man can dream right!? Then both of them can retire and live happily ever after

But in all seriousness, a 3rd WDC would be fantastic for him but even just a single win after such a long time... would be fantastic.

Possibly going off topic, but a Newey car isn't the answer. We saw this in 2014-2016 when the Renault PU was as much of a dud as the current Honda engine. Having a good car cannot make up for a rubbish PU and right now that's what the Honda is.

Agree with the comments about it making zero sense for Alpine though. Alonso is best off sticking where is.
