No one is enjoying life in Formula 1 as much as Fernando Alonso. The 41-year-old Spaniard has found a resurgence in pace, form, and youth in the sport, especially in 2022. However, there’s an end to everything, and the tw0-time world champion knows his time will come. Alonso is not in denial of that fact and is playing his retirement plans by the year.

Don’t worry, the Spaniard is not going anywhere before the 2023 Formula 1 championship season concludes. However, age is not on Alonso’s side, and beyond 2023 and his Aston Martin contract, the future is hazy. Alonso revealed his mindset about the future while speaking to media outlets including GP Fans.

He said, “I will take it year by year. As I said, [2021] maybe I was not 100 percent. If I do a few seasons like that, even if I perform from the outside okay, but I don’t feel happy myself, maybe I would stop.” (Translated Via Google)

Despite the uncertainty of his future in the sport and his advanced years, Alonso revealed he was proud of his performance in 2022. “I feel very proud. I will continue whatever the results are because I know what I can give to the team. [So] Two to three years, for sure,” he concluded.

Speaking to media as quoted by Planet Sport, Krack said, “Yeah, we have had some very good conversations already with him. This, in my opinion, can go beyond driving. Fernando is joining us as being a core part of the team, and we have to see how this is going to develop. But I think he can have a big role to play in the future of the team.”
