Sadly, it was the race Alonso was in for most of 2025 as the 44-year-old scored his fewest points since his final McLaren season in 2018, which stings even more given where McLaren is now, and where the Spaniard hasn’t been since he last won a race in 2013.
Alonso was one of two drivers – Max Verstappen the other – to outqualify his teammate for every Grand Prix last season, a whitewash you can interpret in one of two ways.
When Aston enjoyed its most competitive spell in 2023, Alonso was magnificent in a season that was his best since his Ferrari pomp. If the first Newey-conceived Aston is rapid, he’ll be compelling viewing.
