There is increasing talk of a move for Max Verstappen these days. Due to Red Bull's problems, Fernando Alonso has also expressed his opinion on the driver, who is increasingly being linked with Aston Martin.
The Spanish veteran might be worried about his position against the reigning world champion, but Alonso wouldn't be Alonso if he thought like that...
"I'm not worried about my place, I have an active contract until 2025. However, I consider these rumors a very encouraging signal, both from my point of view and from the team's point of view. The fact that the world champion is most often associated with Mercedes and Ferrari, as well as with us, shows the quality of the project we are working on and the future of Aston Martin."
I myself will be on the track as long as I feel fast and competitive enough, and of course as long as the team needs me. But my commitments are long-term, I will stay here for many more years, just maybe in a different position. If that means we don't win the world championship with me behind the wheel, I will still be very proud. And of course, if that were to happen, I would be very happy to have Max Verstappen as my teammate...” - the legend mused.
