Fernando Alonso has suggested his future in Formula 1 could depend on whether the cars become more enjoyable to drive, launching a sharp critique of the 2026-spec machines ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix, as [reported by AP News](https://apnews.com/article/fernando-alonso-aston-martin-f1-530a712a6bcc07f970ef31a82972cbf2).
"I think it's not fun to watch, it's not fun to drive, and we've been repeating the same thing every single Grand Prix," Alonso said. "It's not the same adrenaline that I used to have driving a Formula 1 car. That's something that I need to put on the table. It's not a problem with the competitiveness of the team. It's just a problem of whether Formula 1 gives me the adrenaline that I need to live."
The two-time champion, who turns 45 next week, signed a multiyear extension in 2024 and confirmed he still has a contract for 2027 with Aston Martin: "So I'm not moving." On whether he will continue beyond, he was open: "For me, I'm relaxed. I'm thinking. I need to know what I do next year and in the years to come. I feel fresh, I feel motivated, I feel fast, but I need to enjoy also what I do."
