- Double world champion was linked to Lewis Hamilton’s seat
- Spaniard has signed ‘multi-year’ contract with current team
Fernando Alonso will remain with Aston Martin beyond this season after signing a new “multi-year” deal with the British-based Formula One team. Double world champion Alonso, 42, had been linked with Mercedes and Red Bull – as possible replacements for Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen respectively.
However, Aston Martin announced on Thursday that the Spanish driver, whose current deal had been due to expire at the end of the year, has agreed a contract extension.
