The two-time World Champion is the most experienced driver on the 2026 grid, having started more than a third of all Formula 1 Grands Prix ever held. Alonso won his titles with Renault in 2005 and 2006 and has driven for almost every leading team in the paddock during a career spanning more than two decades, with a brief retirement between 2018 and 2021 only briefly interrupting his presence on the grid.
He enters a fourth season with Aston Martin alongside the team's most ambitious overhaul yet: Honda power, Adrian Newey running the technical side, and a clear push to turn the Silverstone outfit into title contenders. At 44, Alonso shows no sign of slowing down, and the long-rumoured Newey–Alonso partnership finally getting to work is one of the most anticipated dynamics of the new era.
