Alonso quoted by Autosport.com (it's on their social media):
If 2026 is bad, there's a chance I carry on another year to finish with a good taste in my mouth. If the car is good 2026 will probably be my last year
Opens the door for Verstappen or Russel if he only gets a single-year extension from Mercedes. Or maybe Yuki after a year on the sidelines.

Leclerc is the Hakkinen to Max's Schumacher and it makes me upset his career is being totally wasted by Ferrari.
The solution is simple: Leclerc can come to Red Bull-Ford and drive the second car! :)

Red Bull needs a good second driver, Leclerc needs a good car, it's a win-win all round.

Would be interesting to see Leclerc in a title fight and how he handles the pressure. Being fast is only part of it.

Imagine Alonso winning the WDC and then mic dropping. Although I’d prefer him to get the double again and go out a 4 time champion

I'd prefer Lecler and Alonso at AM fighting for the championship.
