Fernando Alonso has been competing in Formula 1 since 2001. The current contract of Red Bull’s second driver, Sergio Perez, is ending this year. Although it is uncertain if Perez will receive an extension, a former Formula 1 driver expressed that it would not be wise for Red Bull to form a duo with Alonso and Max Verstappen as teammates. Despite being in his 40s, Alonso, a two-time world champion, continues to be fast and shows no signs of slowing down. The former driver believes that having Alonso and Verstappen as teammates would create chaos due to their strong personalities and aggressive approaches. Although Alonso may be an attractive option for Red Bull, this would only be viable if Verstappen were to leave the team after this season. Alonso aspires to end his career as a three-time world champion and had a remarkable season in 2023 with the Aston Martin F1 team, finishing fourth in the Drivers’ Championship. His contract with Aston Martin is set to expire at the end of this year, making the future of Alonso’s racing career intriguing.
