Chandhok admits Alonso will fight for the title in 2026
Karun Chandhok, a former Formula 1 driver and now an expert on Sky Sports, does not rule out that in 2026 Fernando Alonso will fight for victory in the world championship, given the efforts being made at Aston Martin to enter the category of top teams. Adrian Newey, the most successful designer of racing cars in the history of Formula 1, will start work in a month, but he is not the only high-level specialist who joined the team from Silverstone recently - Andy Cowell and Enrico Cardile should also be mentioned. Reorganization in Aston Martin F1 is in full swing, and Chandhok's optimism in assessing the prospects of Aston Martin F1 is quite understandable. "I think it is important to emphasize that the changes in the rules are very large-scale - said Karun in an interview with the Indian edition of Evo magazine. - The new regulations, which will come into effect in 2026, create new opportunities. Let's remember that when Adrian Newey came to Red Bull Racing, it was still a team in the middle of the peloton. In the first years of its history racers Red Bull several times climbed on the podium, but it remained a team-medium. Newey focused on the preparation for 2009, as in that season came into force a new technical regulations. In 2007 and 2008, he has already worked in the team, but mainly engaged in the project in 2009. Although in 2009 Red Bull was in a difficult position, as the team Brawn, using a loophole in the regulations, created a double diffuser, in the second half of the season the car RB5 was already the best in the championship. Then from 2010 to 2013 Red Bull Racing and Sebastian Vettel won four titles in a row, and in the same way in 2026 the team that will have a chance of success in 2025 will be the one that properly reorganizes its structure, becomes more cohesive and stronger. In 2026, when the new rules come into force, we may see the balance of power will change rapidly. Wouldn't it be incredibly exciting if Fernando Alonso, who will be 45 years old by then, wins the title driving a car designed by Adrian Newey? What a great plot twist that would be!"
