Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso and teammate Lance Stroll extended their contracts at Aston Martin through 2027, the Formula 1 team announced Tuesday.
Alonso, 45, had been pondering his future following Aston Martin's slow start to the season. The Spaniard ultimately elected to re-up with Aston Martin, currently in 10th place in the team standings.
'I took my time to make this decision, but racing is my life, my passion, and I know I still have the speed and determination to compete at the highest level. I'm committed for the long term with this team and to helping us succeed,' said Alonso, who made his F1 debut in 2001.
'I truly believe in what we are building: We have strong leadership, incredible people, partners and facilities. I look forward to making more memories on the race track in front of the passionate fans. Their energy creates an atmosphere that inspires me and is what makes our sport special.'
Stroll, 27, is the son of Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll.
'Lance and Fernando have been a crucial part of our journey and we are very pleased to confirm that they will continue with us into the next chapter for the team,' Lawrence Stroll said. 'Having two drivers with their level of experience, commitment and knowledge provides tremendous value to the whole organization.
'We are here to win, and whilst our short-term focus remains on improving performance, I believe we have the world-class talent we need to achieve our long-term objectives.'
