[Saba Sports News] Recently, foreign media
captured photos of Aston Martin team driver Alonso having a meeting with
Mercedes-Benz team boss Wolff in Monaco. This incident has garnered attention
from the public due to the announcement of Mercedes-Benz team driver Lewis
Hamilton’s departure at the end of the season, leaving Wolff in search of a
suitable replacement. The leaked photos show Alonso and Mercedes team leader
Wolff having dinner together at a cafe in Monaco. While the specific details of
their conversation remain unknown, it is widely speculated that Wolff intends
to consider Alonso as a potential substitute for Hamilton. In previous media
interviews, Alonso mentioned that he has yet to make a decision regarding his
next season’s plans. However, Aston Martin Racing has been in contact with
Alonso multiple times, expressing their desire to extend his contract, as they
do not wish to lose their lead driver. Alonso boasts an impressive track record
in Formula 1, having won two F1 world championships and being inducted twice
into the FIA Hall of Fame, both as an F1 driver and an endurance racer, making
him the sole individual to achieve such a distinction.
