News about Fernando Alonso

Road rage comes to Imola. And, as sure as the sun sets in the west, the spat involved Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, who came within inches of colliding. Fury rising, Verstappen believed he was being impeded by Hamilton while on a flying lap during practice for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. The Dutchman tugged his right hand low on the steering wheel to veer close to Hamilton's front-left wheel as he passed him, before slowing down and shaking his left fist - and head - in frustration. Hamilton had just waved his hand in apology to the Dutchman, who requires minimal stimulus to sharpen his elbows, and by that point the red mist had descended.

The latest iteration of Aston's most affordable sports car now rings in at a whopping £165,000. It means the Vantage is nearing a similar pricing ballpark as the Ferrari Roma. But is it as good? We travelled to Spain for the official launch to find out...

THE NOTEBOOK: A dramatic late double by former Stoke forward Joselu sent Real Madrid through to the Champions League final at Wembley after a 4-3 aggregate win over Bayern Munich at the Santiago Bernabeu. The tie had been evenly-poised after four goals were shared in the first leg of the semi-final in Germany last week. Madrid had an impressive 13-month unbeaten home record and a wealth of European history behind them, but they were on the verge of a second consecutive last-four exit in this competition when Bayern substitute Alphonso Davies produced a 68th-minute rocket.

JONATHAN McEVOY IN MIAMI: Max Verstappen won the sprint race at the Miami Grand Prix in which Lewis Hamilton was accused of charging like a bull. Charles Leclerc finished second with Sergio Perez third. The name-calling came in a dramatic start. Hamilton, who was later sent down the finishing order to 16th place for speeding the pit lane, came bowling down the inside from 12th on the grid. 

HENRY CLARK: Red Bull's Max Verstappen strolled to a comfortable win in the Chinese Grand Prix.  The Dutchman took a comfortable victory despite a mid-race safety car, as Lando Norris beat the other Red Bull of Sergio Perez to take second. The Ferrari pair of Charles Leclerc, in fourth, and Carlos Sainz rounded out the top five, holding off Mercedes driver George Russell and Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin in sixth and seventh, respectively. 

Fernando Alonso has jokingly responded to suggestions that he was referenced by Taylor Swift in the singer's new album. Formula One fans were adamant that Swift took a jab at Alonso on her song 'imgonnagetyouback', which features on her album 'The Tortured Poets Department'. Prior to Swift's current relationship with American football star Travis Kelce, she was rumoured to be dating Alonso, who drives for Aston Martin.

Formula One fans claim Taylor Swift took a jab at driver Fernando Alonso in her new album 'The Tortured Poets Department' after the duo's rumored romance last year.  Before Swift was wrapped in Travis Kelce's arms, she was rumored to be dating Alonso, the 42-year-old who drives for Aston Martin in Formula One.  The double album, which was released Friday at midnight features the song 'imgonnagetyouback'.

EXCLUSIVE BY JONATHAN McEVOY: Fernando Alonso is set to announce that he has signed a new two-year deal to stay Aston Martin, Mail Sport can reveal. The 42-year-old double world champion will also take on an ambassadorial role beyond that. He courted - or was courted by - other teams, including Red Bull, who considered him as a replacement for Max Verstappen should their star man have looked to jump ship in light of the scandal in which the team has been embroiled for the last two months.

The Silver Arrows chief has a blockbuster decision to make in coming months with Hamilton, who has been with Mercedes since 2013, moving to Ferrari for 2025. Carlos Sainz, the man who he will replace and winner of this season's Australian GP, is an obvious candidate to go the other way and take Hamilton's seat. Max Verstappen would be the top choice in the event he departs Red Bull, while Fernando Alonso ate breakfast with Wolff in February, sparking the rumour mill. Sebastian Vettel's name has also come up as he is an uncontracted four-time world champion.

After the Spaniard was tipped for a potential return to the Austrian superpower for next season, Max Verstappen admitted that it would be'strange' if Red Bull recruit Fernando Alonso as a driver. Alonso, 42, is the oldest driver on the grid, but his stellar performances with Aston Martin since joining the team last year have put him in a prime spot for one of the best seats on the grid. Sergio Perez currently serves as Belgium's teammate, but he's under pressure to perform after a difficult season that culminated in second place in the championship standings but 290 points behind Verstappen, who won his third straight title.

POLE POSITION JONATHAN McEVOY: His former PA is back in the Red Bull fold, which is a twist in the Christian Horner story. Since the fallout that has seen a female employee of his suspended from his job, I am told she is organising her diary. Nicole Carling, who has been contacted by journalists to ask if she wanted to talk about Horner, is acting as a 'internal assistant,' with her email sign-off. It would appear that Horner's denial of allegations would derail rumors that she was going to air complaints about any maltreatment.

HENRY CLARK IN SUZUKA: It's the debate which continues to divide drivers up and down the paddock - should Fernando Alonso have been penalised for the role he played in George Russell's terrifying crash at the Australian Grand Prix? Russell's car was left teetering on its side, bang on the racing line of the high-speed turn six in Melbourne's Albert Park, after he lost control and crashed the barrier while hunting down Alonso on the penultimate lap. Russell was accused of brake checking Russell after on-board telemetry data revealed that the veteran pilot had slowed significantly more in turn six than he had in previous laps.

After collapsing on the final lap of the Australian Grand Prix, Team Radio has revealed British driver George Russell's pleas for a red flag. Russell's vehicle was left teetering on its side in turns six and seven as he advanced through the gravel and into the barriers at high speeds, facing Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin. Following the impact, the Briton was seen running straight. The impact left strewn across the track and forced the game to be concluded under the virtual safety car.

Fernando Alonso has been promoted to eighth place at the Australian Grand Prix for his part in George Russell's demise from the sport for the 20th time. Russell was aiming for sixth position but he was too close to the Aston Martin driver and dropped out of the race. Although Alonso had no contact with the British Mercedes actor, the stewards nevertheless decided to investigate the occurrence and talk to both men.

On Friday, Dokic was in the Mercedes-AMG Lounge watching a Formula One practice session in Melbourne's Albert Park when Alonso turned wide and went off track. Some of the rubble and rubble that had been kicked up by his vehicle went right into the tennis legend's right eye, requiring her assistance from paramedics attending the event.

After his heroic run in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in Carlos Sainz's Ferrari, the 18-year-old embraced his father, David Bearman. The teen, who was the day's best-driver, kissed his father on the cheek and lovingly wrapped both arms around him. Lewis Hamilton, a former British Prime Minister who has won eight titles over the years, is set to join Ferrari next season. However, Oliver could not make it past George Russell in the other Mercedes. Oliver said after the race that 'It was an amazing race and pushing all the way, I was amazed at how fast we were pushing, getting faster every lap.'

Her partner Oliver Bearman prepares to make his Formula One debut at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix today, bringing her right into the spotlight. But who is Estelle Ogilvy, the London law student who announces the particulars of her fashion prowess to almost 75,000 TikTok followers and 100,000 Instagram followers? Estelle, 21, and 18-year-old Oliver's dating history are uncertain, although the couple's personal life is kept private, with only a few photos of them together revealed. As Estelle's debut in Formula One, there is no doubt he would be cheering on her beau.

For the majority of moms, watching their teenage son drive for the first time after passing his driving exam was a traumatic experience. So spare a thought for the mother of 18-year-old Oliver Bearman (pictured) as this evening her son is expected to be the youngest ever British driver to compete in Formula One. Not that Terri Bearman (right) isn't overly proud of her son, who was given a late call-up from Ferrari yesterday to race for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Oliver, a whizz-kid, started motor racing as an eight-year-old boy in 2013, but he moved from karts to cars four years ago, winning in the German and Italian F4 championships. Oliver is said to be dating Estelle Oglivy (left), who has 72,000 followers on TikTok.

As he watched on in the Ferrari garage, David Bearman was seen visibly moved and breathing heavily. His son, 18, stepped in for his Ferrari debut at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix weekend in place of Carlos Sainz, who has appendicitis. After potentially driving too slowly, he was immediately suspended for failing to follow the race director's instructions, but was cleared.

Oliver Bearman, the 18-year-old Brit who has substituted Carlos Sainz for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, opens with a 50/1 outsider with Sky Bet to win the race on debut. Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, Charles Leclerc, Fernando Alonso, George Russell, and Lewis Hamilton are among the market's top-favourites, with Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, Sergio Perez, Charles Leclerc, Fernando Alonso, George Russell, and Lewis Hamilton selling less. In addition, those predicting that Bearman would be the first driver to retire at 8/1.

As Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez claimed a dramatic one-two victory to briefly bring the spotlight off the leaked texts, the beleaguered F1 boss and his Spice Girl wife put on a display of unity over the weekend. Following an internal probe, Red Bull principal Horner was found not inappropriate toward a female colleague last week, but flirtateous messages between the two teams were apparently exchanged within 24 hours. Horner's leaking of messages reveals that she sent her suggestive texts and intimate photographs, which were supposed to be the key evidence in her Red Bull GmbH lawsuit. But Halliwell has stood by her husband and kissed him in front of the cameras in Bahrain despite the bombshell leak. Horner is seen placing his hand on his wife's waist as they watch Red Bull's festivity.

According to reports, FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem is under scrutiny for reportedly attempting to intervene in a race result at last year's Saudi Arabia Grand Prix. The allegation was made in a paper submitted by a company compliance officer to the FIA's ethics committee, and has since been seen by the BBC. Ben Sulayem and the FIA haven't responded to calls from the BBC for a comment on the facts surrounding the alletion.

Fernando Alonso has ruled out the limits placed on the teams in Formula One's pre-season testing and called for a radical change of the system. Pre-season testing in Bahrain started on Wednesday, just over a week before the Sakhir circuit hosts the season opener on March 2. Each team can only field one vehicle per day, implying that every driver will spend one day in the car and the third will have to share the car.
