Fernando Alonso considers WEC move as he delays Formula 1 contract decision

Fernando Alonso has delayed his decision regarding his Formula 1 future beyond the summer of 2026. The Aston Martin driver confirmed that other racers have visited team owner Lawrence Stroll to discuss potential seat openings, though he maintained there is no immediate urgency to finalize his plans. Alonso expressed dissatisfaction with current Formula 1 regulations, describing them as a battery-focused competition that discourages driver input in high-speed corners. Following a recent session in which he drove historic vehicles, the veteran driver confirmed that a move to the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2027 is a viable option if he chooses to leave Formula 1. He expects to discuss his future role with the team, whether behind the wheel or in another capacity, once he evaluates the impact of future regulation changes on the driving experience.
