At the end of the season, a lot of drivers' contracts will expire, so there will be a lot of driver competition. Fernando Alonso could be an important player in this sequence of events...
All the more so as he is seen by many as the best solution to the 2025 vacancy at Mercedes. And Alonso himself has often said that he is the only world champion available for next year:
"I think I will be an important player in the drivers' market because I am in a great negotiating position. But that's not my focus for now, I want to see what we can do in the first few races first. I want to see how competitive the new Aston Martin is, plus it's interesting that this will be the longest F1 season ever. But the year hasn't even started yet and there are already a lot of strange things happening, such as Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari. I've heard rumours, but this event is going to shake up the drivers' movement in a big way. But that's not my focus at the moment, it's more important to be efficient and put my energy into this long year," said the ever-young Spaniard.
