After the Mexico City Grand Prix, Formula 1 began actively discussing rumors about Fernando Alonso’s possible transfer to Red Bull Racing next season to replace Sergio Perez. In Sao Paulo, the Aston Martin driver assured that the rumors have nothing to do with reality.
“I have nothing to say,” Fernando Alonso said during a meeting with reporters. – Rumors in the paddock are normal, but in this case people are just trying to have fun and attract new subscribers, but I don’t play those games. I don’t like these kinds of rumors because I appreciate professional journalists who have been working in Formula 1 for many years and deserve respect for their work.
The rumors were spread by people who are not present in this press conference room. They think it’s funny, but I don’t think spreading such rumors is funny. They have questioned my loyalty to the team and I will ensure there are consequences for their actions. I have a request: don’t ask me any more questions about these rumors.”
Speaking about Aston Martin’s results in recent races, Fernando said: “Of course we are not as competitive now as we would like. We are trying to reach the highest level, but cannot yet demonstrate this. I’m not happy, Mike Krak is not happy, everyone in the team is not happy with their current form.
But at the same time, two years ago the team had 250 people, and now we are going through a transformation: we have 800 employees, a new base, seven podiums in 2023 and two hundred points more than last year. “We should not overdramatize the situation, because the 2023 season turned out to be super successful.”
