Fernando Alonso with his mind on the present but also with an eye on his future, potentially branded Mercedes Benz. It is certainly no mystery, in fact, that the two-time world champion is one of the names on the list to replace Lewis Hamilton (that will sign for Ferrari starting from 2025). The will of the Brackley team would be to make an attempt for the Aston Martin driver, who will go expiring at the end of this season. Much, however, will also depend on the sensations that Alonso himself will experience on his AMR24, as he himself described at the end of the tests carried out in Bahrain. "The drivers market is undoubtedly interesting, even more so in my position because I have a good opportunity to be able to negotiate with everyone".
Alonso isn't thinking about Mercedes yet: “Future? Head to 2024”
The desire, therefore, is to focus on this season. Alonso explained during the three days of pre-season testing of the small problems manifested on the new Aston and how it will be difficult to predict their exploits like last year. However, the Spaniard's desire is to concentrate on the first two races of the season, and then understand what will happen to his future. “To tell the truth – explains Alonso, based on what is told by Motorsport - I want to focus on the first two races of the season without thinking too much. I want to see how I will go in the new season, which will also be very long if we think about the 24 races we have scheduled. About that, I think I want to change my organization, precisely to be able to be efficient and arrive with a lot of energy in the final part of the year".
Brackley thinks about it
With my mind on 2024, but also with a thought on next season. The, also evidenced by a photograph, between Wolff and Briatore has excited the paddock quite a bit. To be understood, however, will also be Mercedes' desire to focus heavily on Alonso, also considering the hypothesis that leads to Kimi Antonelli which could really grow based on the performance of the Italian driver in Formula 2.
