Fernando Alonso demands £34m per season to sign a new Aston Martin contract
Alpine even remain determined to speak with their former star despite Alonso revealing at the 2026 Hungarian Grand Prix that he has a contract to stay at Aston Martin for 2027 if he wants to continue racing. The idea of Alonso retiring at the end of 2026 is not off the table.
David Croft has also alleged that Alonso’s contract with Aston Martin actually runs through 2029, as it contains options for 2027 and beyond as a driver or a team ambassador. But F1 business expert Marc Limacher now reports that Alonso wants more money to stay there.
Limacher has heard that Alonso wants Aston Martin to increase his current €30m per year (£26m) salary to €40m (£34m). Should the Silverstone squad accept that demand, Alonso would then be willing to commit to racing with Aston Martin through the 2028 F1 season.
