In an unexpected turn that has shaken the world of Formula 1, Fernando Alonso has announced that he will end his contract with Aston Martin at the end of the 2025 season. The two -time champion of the world, known for his competitive character and frankness, has surprised the fans in revealing that his decision is motivated to feel “humiliated” when sharing team with Lance Stroll, the son of the owner of the team, Lawrence Stroll. This statement has generated a wave of reactions on social networks, especially on Facebook, where fans have not taken to express their astonishment.
Alonso, 44, arrived in Aston Martin in 2023 with great expectations, promoted by the ambitious vision of Lawrence Stroll to transform the team into a contender to the title. However, the results have not met expectations. Despite stellar signings such as Adrian Newey and massive infrastructure investment, AMR25 has shown disappointing performance in 2025, with technical problems such as the flywheel failure in the Bahrain GP and a lack of competitive rhythm that left Alonso and Stroll fighting in the back of the grill.
Sources close to the team suggest that the relationship between Alonso and Lance Stroll has deteriorated. While Alonso has maximized the potential of the car, adding crucial points in races such as Australia and China, Stroll has been criticized for its inconsistency, with only 10 points in the season so far. The drop that filled the glass, according to rumors, was an incident in the GP of Spain, where Stroll would have had an altercation with team members, increasing internal tensions. Alonso, known for his professionalism, would have felt that compete with a pilot backed mainly for his last name compromises his legacy.
Lawrence Stroll’s reaction was swift. In an official statement, the Canadian tycoon expressed his surprise and disappointment, defending Aston Martin’s project: “Fernando is an invaluable asset, but our vision by 2026 with Honda and Newey is still intact. We respect his decision, but Lance is part of our future.” This defense of his son has polarized fans, with many by praising the loyalty of Stroll Padre and others accusing him of prioritizing the family about sports success.
Alonso’s announcement has unleashed speculation about his next destination. Will it join a competitive team like Mercedes or McLaren? Or will it surprise with a retirement? The truth is that its departure marks a turning point for Aston Martin, which faces the challenge of recovering credibility in a crucial 2025 before the regulatory change of 2026. Meanwhile, on Facebook, fans passionately discuss: Is Alonso’s perception on Stroll fair? Can Aston Martin go back without his star? Share your opinion and join the conversation!
