Fernando Alonso says he will race in Formula 1 in 2027. The two-time world champion said Aston Martin was preparing for a “moment of truth” that he expected to surprise people. RacingNews365 carried the remarks from an interview with BBC Sport.

Alonso said he felt he and the team were still fast, even though he felt they had slipped out of the spotlight. RacingNews365 reports that he has scored points in only two races in 2026, at Monaco and in the Netherlands.

Alonso also said he still felt competitive. He would be content to watch races from home if he came to believe he had lost speed, reflexes or other abilities.
